I make a really easy side dish with them that is super yummy! 1 an of black beans, 1 can of sweet corn, and 1 small jar of medium salsa... cook it at medium heat until it's hot, then drain it really well in a collinder and serve! It's spicy and delicious as a side dish with burgers or something0

Black Bean Veggie Burgers
1 (16 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 green bell pepper, cut into 2 inch pieces
1/2 onion, cut into wedges
3 cloves garlic, peeled
1 egg
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon cumin
1 teaspoon Thai chili sauce or hot sauce
1/2 cup bread crumbs
Directions
1.If grilling, preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil a sheet of aluminum foil. If baking, preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C), and lightly oil a baking sheet.
2.In a medium bowl, mash black beans with a fork until thick and pasty.
3.In a food processor, finely chop bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Then stir into mashed beans.
4.In a small bowl, stir together egg, chili powder, cumin, and chili sauce.
5.Stir the egg mixture into the mashed beans. Mix in bread crumbs until the mixture is sticky and holds together. Divide mixture into four patties.
6.If grilling, place patties on foil, and grill about 8 minutes on each side. If baking, place patties on baking sheet, and bake about 10 minutes on each side.
I have used as a burger without bun and topped as I normally would or I crumble over lettuce, tomato, avocado and top with salsa, makes a great taco salad! I have also substituted the chili sauce with chopped jalapenos and actually make it only this way now.
Definitely going to try these!!0 -

Thank you! I used to have a similar recipe to this years ago, and I lost it...I've been craving it ever since!!0 -
Hi MFP,
1 can of whole kernel corn to the black beans
1 - 2 tsp of extra virgin olive oil.
3 - 4 oz of Lean Ground Turkey (cooked)
Simmer
Toss yourself a salad and its "on and popping" ;-). Good luck.0 -
These are a couple of my favorites:
Chicken and Corn Chili
Ingredients:
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast
halves
1 (16 ounce) jar salsa
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste
1 (11 ounce) can Mexican-style corn, drained
1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans (I prefer black beans)
(I also add a can of diced tomatoes, undrained)
Directions:
1. Place chicken and salsa in the slow cooker. Season with garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook 6 to 8 hours on Low setting.
2. About 3 to 4 hours before you want to eat, shred the chicken with 2 forks. Return the meat to the pot, and continue cooking.
3. Stir the corn and the pinto beans into the slow cooker. Simmer until ready to serve.
(I usually just mix everything together and cook it all at once.)
Really yummy as a chili!! Leftovers are even better, and it thickens up nicely to use in a tortilla. We eat this often.
Best Black Beans
Ingredients:
1 (16 ounce) can black beans
1 small onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
salt to taste
Directions:
1. In a medium saucepan, combine beans, onion, and garlic, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Season with cilantro, cayenne, and salt. Simmer for 5 minutes, and serve.0 -
