Brown Beans Recipes

A simple, hearty meat-free meal. Pair with a green salad, and dinner is ready.

This is an easy and very filling low cal recipe with lots of flavor.

This southern classic can easily be turned into a Vegetarian meal by omitting the turkey sausage and using vegetable broth. You can also use water in place of the broth to lower the sodium content. For you meat lovers, you can subsitute a different type of protein as you wish.

This is a mainstay dinner dish that is as basic as they come and oh, so good. Just like my morning bowl of cereal, I’ve been eating this meal for more than three decades. This is also a great meal to serve when you’re having extra guests over for dinner.
Serve with healthy chips or warm corn tortillas.

Cheesy and satisfying, this hash brown casserole has tasty vegetarian sausage and green beans that lighten the calories and up the yum.

Chipotle Style Brown Rice with Black Beans, Cilantro, Lime

I have beans or legumes for at least one meal a day to keep cholesterol in check. These beans are packed with flavor; the Caribbean flavor comes from the allspice and ground cloves. I found that 1 teaspoon of hot pepper sauce provides a 2 1/2 alarm heat rating, a little hotter than I usually eat (spicy but not fiery) but that didn't interfere with my enjoyment of this dish. I prefer to cook my beans in a pressure cooker so I can reduce salt and additives; you may use 3 15-1/2 oz. cans of pinto beans or kidney beans that have been rinsed and drained. The proper portion is 1 cup bean mixture over 1/2 cup cooked brown rice.

I found this on Food.com. It was perfect as I had cooked green beans and brown rice to use.
