I have eaten beans and rice since I was a kid. It was a staple in our weekly meals all growing up. Pot of beans, rice and corn bread....it's still actually one of my favorite dinners. So you ask how do you make a good pot of beans? Well start off with pinto of black beans, you can also do a mixture between the two. Rinse them. You can let them soak over night, I don't even do this because I forget to or I'm a plan the dinner a few hours before you cook dinner time type of planner. haha So I just rinse the beans put them in my large pot.
1 package of beans
7-8 cups of water (may need to add more like an hour or so later)
1 onion
2 cloves of garlic
1/2-1 tsp Chili powder
1/2-1 tsp cumin
and my secret ingredient ....
4-6 tsp of Chicken bouillon
salt and pepper to taste
Add the ingredients stir and let it come to a boil then simmer for 2-3 hours.
The bouillon really makes beans soooo much better! I love my beans but I love beans. I also use my food processor to make them into refried beans or make burritos or black bean tacos, or black bean enchiladas. I have been very poor at times so I had to learn to use bean in different ways. lol Luckily I'm not that poor anymore but I still do cook beans at least once a week....got a love them! :)
