These oat and black bean veggie burgers with corn salsa make a filling meal option that can be prepped ahead and serve with fresh vegetables.
If you buy the frozen veggie burgers at the grocery store, cross them off your list. If you’re hesitant about veggie burgers, try these right away. If you think veggie burgers taste like cardboard, whip these up. Seriously. They’re really good! 
My sister sent me the recipe for these burgers that she put together. She told me they were so good that she doesn’t even buy her regular brand from the grocery store anymore! I love veggie burgers and couldn’t wait to give these a try.
When you prep this meatless burger, your kitchen will look and smell like springtime (something a lot of us need right now with all the bad weather across the country). There are a bunch of different veggies in these burgers that provide great flavor and texture.
As always, the nice thing about this recipe is that you can substitute your favorite vegetables, beans, and even seasonings.

One of my all-time favorite recipes on the site is another fab meatless dish with wonderful salsa: Grilled Tofu Tostadas with Tomato-Mango Salsa. I swear I could eat that salsa with a spoon!
This black bean burger recipe includes panko breadcrumbs, which are larger in texture than regular breadcrumbs — they have a flaky texture. Some say they’re better for frying and baking because they don’t absorb oil as easily as regular breadcrumbs and, therefore, stay crispier.
I made Corn Salsa as a topping for the burgers (don’t forget the tortilla chips!), but you can top them with whatever floats your boat — cheese, avocado, sour cream, lettuce, mustard… again, that’s the beauty of these burgers!
Once cooked, you can pop these burgers in the freezer to enjoy another time. They’re perfect when you need a quick lunch.
Enjoy these Black Bean Veggie Burgers with Corn Salsa soon. I’m willing to bet you won’t go back to the store-bought variety once you taste these!
