      Y'all are making me hungry! My dietician told me to get a vegeterian cook book for ideas like these (haven't gotten one yet) but you guys have great ideas!!!! I only use black beans in my turkey chili, dip, and on the side of a protein!

      I am in love with these sweet potato & black bean quesadillas: http://www.thelawstudentswife.com/2012/10/sweet-potato-black-bean-quesadillas/

      I added baby spinach to mine. The quesadilla filling is also a pretty awesome dip.

      I also really like a bowl of black beans and brown rice with an over-medium egg on top. Add some hot sauce and it is really heavenly.

      Everyone has a great vegetarian chili recipe on here. Mine is really simple and QUICK.

      1 can black beans
      1 can chili hot beans
      1 can hominy
      1 can golden corn
      1 can rotel tomatoes with green chilis
      1 can (small) tomato paste
      1 onion chopped (I like to leave it crunchy so I don't sautee it)
      TONS of garlic :laugh:
      1 pack chili seasoning

      Do NOT drain vegetables. Dump everything into a large pot with a can and a half of water. Heat to boiling then simmer for 15 minutes or so. Like I said, I like the onions crunchy, so my chili is done in about 25 minutes total. Even tastes good cold :happy:

      I like to take a can of drained black beans and add them to a pan of chopped garlic and onion. Simmer them with a tablespoon of water for about twenty minutes. This is delicious piled over a baked potato with a slice of reduced fat sharp cheddar cheese and some mushrooms sauteed in a tiny bit of olive oil and some garlic.

      Make Taco Soup

      1 15 oz can Corn
      1 15 oz can black beans
      1 15 oz can dark red kidney beans
      1 10 oz can Rotel
      1 28 oz can crushed tomatoes
      1 packet dry taco seasonings
      1 packet dry ranch seasoning
      1 medium yellow onion
      1-2 lbs lean ground beef

      Drain the corn, black beans, and dark red kidney beans and put in crock pot. Add Rotel, crushed tomatoes, taco seasonings, and ranch seasonings. Chop the onion and add to the crock pot. Brown the beef and add to crock pot. Set on high for 1 hour then turn to low and allow to simmer for at least 1 more hour.

      I like to serve mine with tostitos scoops chips. The kids use the chips instead of spoons.

      You've never had a black bean? LOL. We had them tonight - it was vegetarian night at our house. I made a layered casserole with fat-free cheese, salsa, corn, black beans, onion, spinach, and crushed baked Tostidos. Yum. It was 245 calories a serving. Here's probably my all time favorite - Black Bean Burritos from allrecipes.com -

      Try this (can be a start to a chilli):

      Black Beans
      Diced Sweet Potato
      Salsa (or Diced Tomatoes with green chillies)
      Fijita Flavored Rice (cooked with coffee instead of water)

      You can mash them with cooked long grain brown rice and sweet potatoes, form into patties and grill them to make awesome clean burgers :)

      sounds delicious

      I just discovered that greek yogurt could be substituted for sour cream. I tried it on my lasagna the other day and I was sold. I love sour cream so it's good to know that i can substitute it with plain greek yogurt.
