Just started eating this as I have all the ingredients on hand from the garden...but I dont add the oil. Also, the salt was way too much..maybe because I used canned beans

Soak the beans overnight, then drain the water, add 4c water for every cup of dried beans and put in crock pot or on the stove for 4-6 hours.
Add some Sriracha to the black beans to spice them up!0 -

1/4 c chicken broth
2 c black beans
2 c fresh spinach
1 med red pepper

Thinly slice red pepper, set aside. Sautee ground meat with chicken broth and 1 tbs minced garlic, salt, pepper over med heat. Once cooked, drain and set aside. Heat black beans in same sautee pan and add red peppers, 1 tbs minced garli, salt, pepper and 1 tsp sriracha. Once heated, add meat and mix until peppers are crisp tender.

I love this one. I omit the mushrooms and double the rice.

I puree black beans in a blender, mix with some quinoa to thicken, add curry and some onion and cook in a pan using trader joe's coconut oil spray (0 cal!). I eat it like a burger on a thinny with a little scoop of greek yogurt and a tomato. DELISH!0

Black beans are my quick and simple way to deal with my leftovers.
I had left over 93% lean ground beef, through it in a pan with half a cup of brown beans, added chili powder, diced onions, diced peppers, added 3 teaspoons tomato sauce and which ever other random seasoning I wanted. Dumped the contents into a flax sed wrap with some hot sauce and yummy burrito type thing for only 246 calories.
I also take my left over grilled chicken, cut into strips or cubes, and dump it on top of a serving of white rice with half cup black beans, mix together chopped onions, tomatoes, and peppers. Also under 300 calories and very filling.0 -

Soak them over night, then cook them in a crockpot with hot salsa and diced onion. Make some brown rice. Take some rice and black bean mixture, put them in a warm whole wheat tortilla, add a little shredded cheddar cheese and ta da! black bean burrito!
Save any left over beans and rice for the next day. Add chopped red/yellow/green pepper, some cajun seasoning, and some spicy chicken sausage (if your a carnivore) and you have a tasty filling meal!)

this is the same method/recipe I have been using to make beans for years. It is a winner. I use it to make black, pintos, kidney, lentils...well you get the idea.
If I have chicken stock, I'll use that otherwise I do as you and throw in bouillon. I often don't have fresh jalapeno so instead I will add 5-6 slices of pickled jalapeno to the crock. We always have beans. When I make a crockpot full of them I put in the fridge what we'll eat in a couple days and the rest I freeze laying flat for later use.I use this recipe and just switch a bag of uncooked black beans for refried beans. I have modified the recipe a little bit. I add chicken boullion powder to basically make it 9 cups of chicken broth rather than water and I cut the salt down to 2 tsp total. If I don't have a jalapeno laying around, I'll squeeze in a bit of sriracha.
