I HATE Beans, but want to eat them...

Rice + Beans!! love it. Sautee up some onions and jalapenos, cook til tender, add the beans, cook a few more minutes, serve over rice.

In general though, you don't need to eat a food if you don't like it, even if it is healthy. If it really turns your stomach that much, just eat somethin' else! There are plenty of other ways to get your fiber and protein/carbs (beans have a good amount of both.)

Puree them! They add great body to soups and sauces. Also do you like lentils? They are very healthy and full of good quality protein. (complete protein if they are sprouted!)
Lentil dal or chana masala (look up recipes on food.com, they're easy if you have the spices in your cabinet) are the most delicious foods on the planet.

Lentils were my "gateway bean". They don't have quite the same texture as other beans, have a kind of 'nutty' taste and are really easy to cook. This looks like a good recipe to start with: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/lentil-soup/ It sounds very similar to one that I make.

Look up a recipe for unfried refried beans.... I like them much more than refried beans in a Mexican restaurant. I smear them in tortillas, add cheese and it's a quick and easy dinner or lunch.
Also, try to cook the dried beans yourself. I find beans in a can mushy, but if I soak and then cook beans in a crockpot all day, they have a much better texture. I can then add them to things, make a side salad out of them, add them to meatloaf, soups, etc.

Mexican bean lasagne thing... Serves 4:

BASIC INGREDIENTS
6 soft tortillas (the small long life ones)
2 x cans black beans (400g each)
2 x cans tomatoes with chilli (400g each)
1 x packet fajita seasoning
70g Mexicana or cheddar, grated

OPTIONAL EXTRAS
1 sliced onion
A few mushrooms
Crushed garlic

Oven to gas 4 or 5

If using extras, fry the onions in a little oil, adding water if it gets a bit sticky

Add the mushrooms and garlic and soften for a couple of minutes

Id not using extras, just start with the drained beans in a pan and start to warm through, and add the fajita seasoning

Add the tinned tomatoes and warm through.

Slice the tortillas in half. Put a third of the bean and tomato mix at the bottom of a 30cm sq tin, add a little cheese and a layer of cheese. Repeat twice more and finish with cheese on top of tortillas.

Will only take around 15 mins in the oven as the mix is already hot. I love this dinner, easily halfed to serve two and if I do this I use a loaf tin to cook it in :-)

Yeah I know, but I don't eat much meat at all, and was actually vegetarian for 3 years, but couldn't do it because I refused to eat beans.

I'm a vegetarian but rarely eat beans, just don't have time to cook them, but don't mind eating them. Being a vegetarian has nothing to do with eating beans. lol

WHY would you eat something you loathe?
Eat what you like, in moderation.
Your tastes do change somewhat, as you eat healthier and get more fit.
Like....I have started to eat steamed veggies at breakfast, and I actually love it.
Never did that before.

I don't eat things I don't like and have taught me sons the same thing. One son, when he was five, kept making faces as he ate asparagus and I told him he didn't have to eat it. "Yes, I do!" he told me. "They're good for me!" Life is too short to eat stuff you don't like. No one food is absolutely essential to health. For example, cruciferous vegetables are good, but some (broccoli) I won't eat and others (cabbage) I will. :-)
