Beans
Beans are seeds from flowering plants in the family Fabaceae, commonly known as the legume, pea, or bean family. They are an important source of protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals, making them a staple in many diets around the world. Beans come in various shapes, sizes, colors, and flavors, and they can be classified into several categories.
Western Pinto Beans
Western Pinto Beans are indeed a versatile and essential side dish in our neck of the woods, providing a hearty complement to grilled meats like steak and barbecue ribs.
Easy Refried Beans
If you need refried beans in a hurry, Easy Refried Beans is a darned good recipe. It rivals most restaurant refried beans that I've eaten.
Black-Eyed Peas and Ham
With a Southwestern touch, there is a more complicated list of ingredients with this recipe. This Black-Eyed Peas and Ham is a fancier version than the classic which most often uses ham hocks.
Linda’s Taco Soup
Make this slow cooker recipe yours! Linda's Taco Soup is very forgiving. You can add or subtract ingredients as you wish....hominy, green veggies, etc.
Yankee Red Beans and Rice
Yankee Red Beans and Rice is THE best recipe for red beans and rice that you will ever find. I think it's much better than the Louisiana dish.
Falafel
Falafel is deep-fried fava beans or chickpeas. It’s a staple in the Middle East. These balls are crispy on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside.
Mexican Casserole
Enjoy a delightful comforting Mexican casserole recipe, where you can mix and match meats for a unique culinary experience.
Beanie Weenies
Beanie Weenies have been a favorite for years. There are many different recipes for them. Some include Worcestershire sauce, some leave out the bacon. It's a recipe that is begging for personalization.
