I need more beans! Preferably for lunch. Gotta get me some more protein! So, if you have any awesometastic bean recipes that won't take forever to make (minus the soaking of course!) please stop hogging them all to yourself and share! :happy:
Oh yeah, and I'm vegan. So vegan/vegetarian recipes would be nice, but they aren't necessary. I can always tweak them to my liking.
Thanks in advance!!!

This is a side dish that I just tried and I absolutely loved it! You might be able to tweak it to make it into a meal, I don't know. But I loved it and even my kids liked it!0 -
Add me! Look at my food diary too. I'm vegan =] I have some great recipes so I'll get back on tonight to tell you some, I'm at work lol.0

Great northern beans - add sofrito (tomato and cilantro... or home-made), minced garlic, adobo seasoning salt. They taste great! So good I could eat the whole thing if I wasn't worried about calories.0

I make the Margarita Grilled Chicken from Chilli's Restaurant at home all the time.
The restaurant description is: MARGARITA GRILLED CHICKEN
Classic Margarita-flavored grilled chicken with hints of lime and citrus, served with rice, black beans, tortilla strips and house-made pico de gallo.
My version is 4oz of chicken from the grill (I usually grill 2 chicken breasts and save the chicken for other meals). Then serve over brown rice with black beans and homemade salsa on top.
You can replace the chicken with a black bean burger or something else.0 -

That sounds super easy! I love it! Maybe I could mix it with rice, too! And wrap it in lettuce!0 -
I am all about easy; I doctor up a can of black beans; saute' 1/4-1/2 an onion in a tiny bit of olive oil; add 1 clove of minced garlic then beans and add cumin for a smokey flavor. I add that to brown rice even my 10 year old will eat it up.0

mix 3 or 4 different types of beans, soy crumbles and some of your favorite Mrs. dash or some other low sodium seasoning. into a crock pot, maybe some other veggies in there like peppers and onions. and some tomato sauce. its sounding like a chilli.0

At our grocery store...(meijer) in the bean aisle there is a can of wonderful bean mixture called...Southwestern bean salad...by READ. It has a toco flavoring and it wonderful in a burrito...plus low cal. I make chicken nachos with it...we all love it!0

No recipe to contribute, but i'm vegetarian and trader joes as awesome vegetarian cuban black beans in a can. you can make black bean soup out of them, add them to tomato soup, and use them in chile, and even use them in a salad :-)0

Also try adding nutritional yeast to things like air popped popcorn. It has a lot of protein, and it tastes yummy, AND it's vegan!0

Now thats good cause you can put that on before you go to work or early in morning and for get about if for a fwe hours and it will be so good. Keep it turned on low...0

When we need a quick meal on a hot day, black beans (heavily rinsed, from a can) mixed with salsa (from a jar), fresh cilantro and served over brown rice.. I don't heat the beans..only the rice gets cooked. Quick, easy, high fiber, low fat and everyone (including my two kids--ages 4 and 8) eat them!!!0

I love beans too! I prefer to cook dried beans but if you must buy in a can, you could add some okra and diced tomatoes (and corn too!) to kick it up a bit and give it a mexican taste.
Here is a way to quick soak the beans.
1) cover beans in a large pot and bring to a boil for about 5 minutes.
2) remove from heat and let soak for 1 hour
3) drain and rinse thoroughly.0 -
