I have a number of vegetarian recipes in my recipe data base. None of them are using a smoker, although some can use a grill. There are many others that would be good to serve, and would be appreciated. Here come three that I picked out for you to consider. As with any recipe, read it, adapt it to suit yourself.

1 c Carrot; chopped
1/2 c Onion; finely chopped
1/4 c Green pepper; finely chopped

Oats, beans and carrots make this deliciously spiced loaf a real high
fiber meal. Try it hot for dinner and have the leftovers in a
sandwich the next day.
For Loaf:
Preheat oven to 375
Lightly oil a 5 x 8 loaf pan or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
Place oats and water in small bowl and let stand 15 minutes. Place
beans in a large bowl, mash with a fork. Add remaining ingredients.
Mix well with fork making sure that spices are evenly distributed.
Add oats to bean mixture. Mix well. Press firmly into prepared
pan. Bake 1 hour and 15 mins to 1 hour 30 mins.
Invert onto serving plate. Let stand 5 min before slicing.
Burgers:
Following mixing directions above. Make into regular size burger
patties (I use 1/4 burger press). Lightly oil non stick fry pan and
fry over med heat for approx. 8 minutes per side or until browned and
crisp. Then place in preheated 300 degree oven for 20 to make sure
inside of burger is set.
Made 7 good sized burgers.
Next time I will try V8 instead of water for a variation.
Spices can be changed for cajun, indian, mexican
