Ghoulish Burgers
[Vegan]

To Make the Vegan Cheese Sauce:

1. Heat the oil in a small saucepan. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Using a whisk, stir in the milk and cook until lightly thickened.
2. Add the cheese and whisk until the cheese melts and the sauce is smooth.

To Make the Burgers:

1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onions and cook until caramelized, about 10 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional minute. Remove from heat and set aside.
2. Add the beans, chili powder, salt, oregano, cumin, chili flakes, black pepper, and onions to a food processor. Pulse until the beans are broken up, but not paste. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl.
3. Add the gluten to the bean mixture and knead for 4 minutes until gluten strands form. Divide the mixture into 6 portions and form into burger patties about the size of your buns.
4. Spray a baking sheet with oil, arrange the burgers on a sheet, add 1/4 cup water around the burgers, cover tightly with foil and bake in a 300°F oven (no need to preheat) for 30 minutes. Uncover, flip the burgers, and continue to bake for another 20 minutes.
5. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the burgers until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Add the vegetable broth, cover, and steam for 2 minutes.
6. Make the burgers by spreading mayo on the bottom bun, adding a burger patty, 2 halves of pickles for the fangs, a top bun, a drizzle of sauce, 2 slices of olives for eyes, and a toothpick to hold it all together. Serve.
