It's Monday, Black Bean Day!

This was delish and easy to make!  It got kinda nervous when I added the beer to the beans but it turned out great.  Why is it that when I use black beans, there is a hint of sweetness? 

ETA:  Kids love it too!

Re: It's Monday, Black Bean Day!

  • Woo hoo for Black Bean Mondays!

    I think I will make this sometime this week. I need to get more beans!

  • I am making mexican casserole tonight with black beans :)

  • Mmm that looks like it was amazing! I've always thought they have a bit of a sweeter flavor too. Not sure what would off-set it to make them not as sweet tasting though.
  • I had an Amy's black bean burrito for lunch.  Smile

    Yes, and I was thrilled that the beans costed less than $2.  Double score!

    I'm down with the sweeter flavor.  I don't think it is too overpowering.  Maybe that is why the kids like it!

    I've been using dried beans lately.  I make a batch in the crockpot and then freeze them in small containers for when I need them.  So cheap.  I love it.

    Dried beans rule!

  • I made this last night. Thanks for sharing.  It was great!  1/2 of the kids liked it.  We'll try again.
