    Never tried to cook them from scratch!!!! The canned ones are good additions to some recipes. I may try some of you guy's suggestions as well because they sounded so good!!!! Good thing my son likes beans too!!!! :)

    Love them! I warm them up in a pot, add some cajun and pepper and put them over rice. Great lunch to eat!

    Do you all cook your black beans from scratch, or do you use canned? If you use canned, can you recommend a brand? Thanks!

    I use Eden Organic no salt added brand. Only 15 mg of sodium per 1/2 cup and 110 cals. You can add any kind of shredded cheese or grated parmesan/romano cheese for a more savory flavor without adding too much salt.

    A nice a different breakfast is: one of two eggs "fried" on PAM on top 1/2 of black beans, drained if canned, mixed with 1/2 of cooked quinoa. Sprinkle some shredded mozzarella cheese on top and enjoy!

    I love Black Beans! Absolutely adore them. Black Bean Salads are some of my favorites, with diced poblano peppers, onions, sweet bell peppers, cilantro, and tossed with a spicy chili vinaigrette! Light + Fresh + All Natural.

    I love making black bean chicken chili.

    I've used them in salads with guacamole and skipped the salad dressing. That works great.

    Black beans are amazing. I can eat them right out of the can (or Tupperware, if I had to cook them myself)!

    I eat beans out of the can all the time too! I even like refried black beans refrigerated out of the can too haha I thought I was weird :) I love kidney beans the most, black beans second!
    I love putting beans on salads or mixing them with rice and salsa.
