I use less cheese and brown rice and add mushrooms to cut back a bit on cals and add another veg. Had it last night and have leftovers for lunch today. Yummy.

I also will throw in some black beans into a chili instead of kidney beans if I have some to be used up.

I love this and so does everyone who I've made it for:

Black Beans
Green onions, chopped
tomatoes, diced
peppers (Red, yellow, orange, green whatever you have) diced
cucumbers diced
avocado, diced
cilantro,chopped

"dressing"
Fresh lime juice
garlic (finely diced)
cumin
salt
pepper

The measurements can be whatever you have or like. I like a lot of lime juice and garlic but you might not. You can replace the green onion for red onion, etc. Yummy on its own or with tortilla chips!

I love this soup recipe. I puree half the ingredients before baking to not splattering myself with hot soup. http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=718155 Southwest Chicken and Black bean soup.

I also love this turkey enchilada casserole recipe. I have even made it with venison, and have omitted the tortillas. I think it would be easy to convert into a wonderful soup. It calls for two cans of black beans.

My sweet tooth demands the brownie notion be seconded!

I used this recipe (http://alimentageuse.com/home/2013/03/27/black-bean-brownies/) and they turned out delicious. It was 216 calories for 1/8th of the pan (because I like massive brownies, okay?!), with 22g carbs, 8g protein, and 11g fat (keeping in mind the coconut oil).

---

Ingredients

- 1 can black beans (15 oz drained and rinsed, the can was 19 fl oz.)
- 3 tbsp coconut oil
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (divided 1/4 and 1/4)
- Optional: Fleur de sel to sprinkle on top

Instructions

In a food processor or a blender, purée the black beans, cocoa powder, coconut oil, and 1/4 cup chocolate chips until smooth. If your processor is big enough, add in the eggs, vanilla, and brown sugar and purée just until smooth (try not to overmix the eggs though). If it's not big enough, transfer to a mixing bowl and mix in the eggs, vanilla, and brown sugar.
Pour into a parchment paper-lined square pan (8x8).

Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top and if you like the salty fleur de sel, sprinkle some on top to cut through the dark chocolate flavour.

Bake for 20-30 minutes at 350F until set. I like to underbake my brownies a bit, but if you don't, bake until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the middle.

Let cool on a wire rack.

Cut, and serve! Store in an airtight container for 2-3 days, or in the fridge for about a week.

Oh and one pound of diced chicken breasts, with one can of black beans drained, one can of corn drained, one can of rotel, one cup water and taco seasoning is amazing! Man I haven't made that in a long time... grocery trip tomorrow!

BUMP BUMP BUMP - Love black beans - I come from Australia and so tinned black beans are really tough to come by - specialty shops only as our latin and caribbean traditions are fairly nascent ... these are one of my faves though

Hello,

I'm from Brazil and f there is something that can be classified as the national brazilian food that would be Black Beans.
The favourite way to go about it is to make it into a stew with pieces of pork, smoked pork is even better. It's the sort of thing that you can add whatever vegetables you have around you and it keeps delicious, a bit like lentil stew.
I would suggest potatoes, carrots and tomatoes (yes I know tomato is a fruit), for the port I think pancetta is the way to go. Cook it all until the beans are soft, a pressure cooker might be the best way. Serve it with rice and for the adventurous ones you can have a go at eating it with peeled pieces of orange, it's absolutely delicious.
I hope it helps, otherwise you can always look for brazilian recipes, we call black beans Feijão, I'm sure you can find plenty of recipes in english around the web

This.We love it. I make it a little differently (taught by a friend who's a Brazilian chef). You rinse the beans, soak overnight, put in a pot with water covering and start simmering awar. Smoked meat is kind of important to get the flavor...you can use a low-fat smoked sausage and/or crisp-cooked bacon (cook them separately, then add). I don't add any veggies except sauteed onion, scallion and garlic (plenty of, always, for me). Salt, pepper and a couple of bay leaves. And--her secret touch--mash a ripe banana or two and add it during the last half hour. A slow-cooking dish. Sooo good. No exact measurements....just be careful, since the smoked meats have salt, that you add your salt at the end, to taste, so it's not too salty.

And even better with sauteed kale as a side dish, with a bit of vinegar, salt, pepper, garlic added to it. The Brazilians were chowing down on kale long before it became popular here.
