A flavor powerhouse of protien!! Cooked with no meat or meat by products. Easy to prepare by putting it all in a crock pot.

Serve with whole wheat tortillas and a home made Pico De Gallo and it is a surefire hit for the whole family.

Also the left overs are really good to mash up the next day with some lime juice and serve with tortilla chips! Submitted by: MRICHTER2004

These beans are great in burritos, as a side dish, or even as a soup! My family gobbled them up. :-) Put this in the crockpot and let it cook all day. No need to presoak the beans!Submitted by: THEROSAS

JUST A POT OF BEANS...
A pot of beans can be cooked in a crock pot and or large stew pot. I prefer the crock pot. Once the beans are made can be served as a appetiser(dips), side dish(whole or mashed) , an entree served with cornbread, or used for several other recipes such as; chilli and beans and brown rice.

Delicious. Double the recipe and freeze the rest if desired. Serve with plenty of cornbread for sopping up the bean juice!Submitted by: BUDGETMOM

Healthful, easy and warming. Mmmmm. Beans in this recipe soak overnight, so be forewarned. Lovely over brown rice. Submitted by: COMMITMENTS
