Because I'm lazy and also on a very strict budget, I am ALL about easy, quick dinners with minimal ingredients. Here's a black bean cake (not the chocolately kind) that makes a great dinner!

1 can black beans
2 Tbsp ketchup
1 Tbsp mustard (any kind will do...I use Dijon)
1/4 cup onion, chopped very fine
1 packet instant oatmeal
Seasonings to taste

Rinse and drain the black beans well. Mash with a fork to get lumpy, pasty consistency. Add in ketchup, mustard, onion (and/or any other finely chopped veggies you'd like), oatmeal and seasoning and mix well. Form 4 separate patties. Cook patties in pan set to medium, 5 minutes for each side. Eat as is or stick it in a hamburger bun.

It's really hard to screw these up. Go ahead and play with different ingredients to see what you like. I didn't drain the beans very well last time so they were less held-together, but still delicious!
