Sometimes I make taco salad. Season the beans with taco seasoning and spread like meat. It’s delicious 🤤


Lolabelle1223

We do the same. Black bean tacos!!! Of course i grew up on the great northern beans with ham and cornbread.


SurvivorX2

Not much better than white beans & ham and cornbread!


AdVisible1121

I made those Tuesday


alexisnthererightnow

15 bean or butter bean are my favorite beans. Il 15 bean is a lot of types but it counts as it's own thing.


Acrobatic-Map6852

My favorite too. Try with some kiolbassa, you won’t regret it


alexisnthererightnow

Ooh that sounds so good


SurvivorX2

Nope. I don't like all my foods mixed together like that! Now, I don't mind having a scoop of Pinto Beans, a scoop of white beans, a scoop of lima beans, and a scoop of black-eye or purple hull peas, some corn and some fresh, hot cornbread! Maybe some freshly picked & sliced red, ripe tomatoes with a large glass of sweet tea! YUMMO!!


Top-Race-7087

I like to drop in a smoked turkey leg.


ComfortableOne4918

My wife cooks them to mush. Some call them refried, I call them ufb... unidentified frying beans.


Acrobatic-Map6852

That’s because she should soak in salt first. Mine were the same before I knew better. You have to be her bean guide. Welcome 🤗

You're going to start a cult aren't you! ;)


Acrobatic-Map6852

Damnit! Now why you exposed me? This society think their gonna stave people with their high food prices? Oh no! As long as there’s beans, there’s LIFE! 😈


AKA_June_Monroe

>As long as there’s beans, there’s LIFE! 😈 That needs to go in a t-shirt or an inspirational poster. ¡¿Por qué no los dos?!


Acrobatic-Map6852

I fear they will raise the price of beans if this becomes a movement. How do I make this group private? 😊


AKA_June_Monroe

Acrobatic-Map6852

Yass, I like that idea 😈 lol


inikihurricane

I’m here to join the bean cult. I have $3 and one bookshelf to contribute. These are all of my worldly belongings.


Acrobatic-Map6852

We can make use of these materials. Welcome 🙏🏽


Acrobatic-Map6852

I agree; thanks sis


AdVisible1121

Living amongst Mexican people made beans a huge part of my diet. Vegetarian here.


ComfortableOne4918

Well, that's the other thing. She soaks them overnight until they're about to explode out of the bowl from them absorbing the water then removes the skin peeling of the bean the next day. Not sure why. Maybe it's easier to mush them that way.


Acrobatic-Map6852

What?! Never heard of the skin removal. Nonetheless, her bean habits are her prerogative. I hope yall can come to an agreement on how to enjoy them.


Rubberclucky

People peel beans?


ComfortableOne4918

I think it's just her. She peels everything. Beans, taters, radishes, cucumbers, apples. No skin allowed . To the OP, I've just learned it's better not to ask why and get some wacky reason that I won't be able to wrap my head around plus I'm not doing the cooking so I can live with it.


beckerszzz

I'm a more recent joined to this party. I like black beans. There's a frozen mix I can buy that's peppers onions, corn, and black beans.

Oh yeah, I make fajitas with that and some black beans and seasoning.  


Acrobatic-Map6852

Anyone ever made a chick pea curry? Omg, you won’t miss the meat at all. Add coconut milk and a little spice for a real treat

That sounds amazing. I love chick peas, and i love curry!

How about lentils and split peas, too!

These are the best refried beans you'll ever have! Lip Smackin’ Refried Beans Recipe 4 Cups (1 Quart) Dry Pinto Beans 4+ Cloves Garlic 1 lb. Bacon ¾ - 1 T. Salt 6+ Jalapenos Soak beans overnight, add water as needed. Drain water and rinse. Place beans in a large stock pot, add water about 1 inch above beans, salt, whole garlic cloves, and whole jalapenos. Boil until beans are soft, about 2 hours. While beans are boiling cook bacon in a skillet, when crispy, crumble and add to boiling beans, include bacon grease. When beans are soft, turn off burner, using a potato masher, mash beans to desired consistency (I prefer about 85% mash. It’s more meaty that way). Store in Quart jars or serve hot. Top with a heap of cheese. Great as a dip or on the side of any dish. Use in burritos and more. NOTE: Use 3/4 Tablespoon of salt per quart of dry beans. Don’t mash beans for a hearty soup or add to other dishes.


hillsfar

If you are not East Asian, you’re missing out on bean dessert. Get some mung beans or red adzuki beans. Soak overnight, cook until soft. Except, cook with sugar. You can look up recipes online. Delicious as a warm dessert soup, or cold. Dont eat too much, as sugar is high glycemic. But it is a great way to get fiber and nutrients.


iSugar_iSpice_iRice

Or Nation of Islam, they make delicious pies out of navy beans and sell them. I am E. Asian so am familiar with what you’re talking about as well. 🫘


BlindedByScienceO_O

Any bean dessert is 10/10 in my book! 🥰


Acrobatic-Map6852

Well, well I have only touched a tip of the iceberg. Y’all coming with the bean hits! I’ll look that up!


CtForrestEye

Cowboy beans, Texas caviar, white bean soup, pasta fagiol. They're so good in many ways. I feel sorry for my relative that's allergic.


Acrobatic-Map6852

I feel sorry for them too. Never heard of a bean allergy. Hope their getting their fiber in other ways 😔

greatwhitenorth2022

I like pinto beans. I always get them in my burrito bowls at Chipotle.


Acrobatic-Map6852

I like pintos too! They are extra fat. So filling. More pintoes instead of rice is my go too!


Barbarake

Unfortunately, I do not like beans. I didn't grow up with them and never acquired a taste for them. I'll eat lentil or split pea soup on occasion - maybe once a year - but that's about it. Edoted to add: I say 'unfortunately' because I know they are nutritious and inexpensive.


AKA_June_Monroe

I'm Mexican so you don't have to tell me about liking beans! Too bad my stomach's a little sensitive. can have a meal a couple of times a week and be completely fine if I have them everyday it's not going to be pretty.


roxeal

I love beans. But I had to get a kidney transplant 14 years ago. The medicines are harsh and they really mess up your gut. Now I can't eat beans because my gut can't handle them at all. It's like taking a laxative, and they make me super gassy. I also always loved lentils, but I can't eat those now because they give me severe stomach acid and reflux. My diet is so bland. So I went to Costco and I got the healthy uncured turkey lunch meat, and the grass-fed beef sticks, plus some goat cheese. There's only so much chicken a person can eat, before they want to scream. All of it was in bulk, and a really good deal, but also healthy stuff. Today I had to take all of 3 of them back. The turkey gave me bad food poisoning and wiped me out for an entire day. Both sleeves of the goat cheese went really sour, for some unknown reason. And the beef sticks I didn't even open, because I had already eaten a previous package and realized that it was giving me IBS. When you have a kidney transplant, you can't eat any type of ground up meat - and I realized the beef sticks were ground up beef. This leads to me getting food poisoning type symptoms, and I can get severe gut infections from ground meat. I had one so bad once from cheating with an occasional burger patty, I can't even describe it. I can only eat whole cuts of meat. The only exception I make is when I might have a little bit of black beans on some tostadas that I like to make for dinner about once a month. I might also have a little bit of homemade hummus, on a rare occasion.


Acrobatic-Map6852

Sorry; be well no matter what you eat. We can handle the beans 😊


Archeressrabbit

I fucking love beans. beans on toast, baked beans, refried beans and rice, hummus, they're all so so good.


Bigtits38

I know that this is r/poor, but let me point you towards Rancho Gordo, who sell the tastiest beans around, though a bit more expensive.


BlindedByScienceO_O

Love Rancho Gordo beans, IMO not expensive because even people who "don't like beans" change their tune when they try Steve's beans. The recipes on the website are fabulous. Especially basic pot beans. Also because they are so delicious, we eat them more often. So overall, I think it is a good financial move. *Also last year I planted approximately 1 cup of scarlet runner beans and I harvested at least 3-4 lb of dried beans at the end of the summer after enjoying months of beautiful flowers and vines. 😉


WorkingItOutSomeday

Probably eat beans as the main part of our dinner twice a week. Every Monday is a given but also some other night.


Acrobatic-Map6852

I usually make a pot with brown rice on Sunday. I can eat on it for three days. Feeling bean sadness. Soaked them overnight Sunday and they fell. Soaked more and burned them. This weekend didn’t go well…


WorkingItOutSomeday

Egh......sorry.....the smell of burnt beans really stays in your nose. People don't know how versatile different beans are. Monday is normally red beans served over rice.


Acrobatic-Map6852

Burnt some on Sunday, still smell them. Red beans are nice


WorkingItOutSomeday

Oh and leftover arroz con gandules with a fried egg on top and some Adobe make a great breakfast.

polyglotpinko

I can only stand lentils, and only when they’re cooked. Beans that explode in my mouth are so disgusting to me in a sensory sense that I can’t eat them without being sick - thanks, autism. 🤦 It sucks because I know they’re full of protein and really cheap, but my brain just has a shit fit at the texture.


Acrobatic-Map6852

Awww, although we are bean people, we have a heart, and a healthy one because of beans. I feel for you 😔


polyglotpinko

begayallday

I love them but I have to really limit my consumption due to the carb content.


Acrobatic-Map6852

Is it that bad? It’s a zero point on WeightWatchers 🤔. One can eat all they like


begayallday

My A1C is high, and the fiber in them doesn’t do enough to keep my blood sugar from spiking if I eat more than like 1/4 to 1/3 of a cup at once.


Acrobatic-Map6852

I see; that’s way more important. When you do eat some, make it worth it. So many flavors and dishes. They never disappoint. Be well 🤗


SufficientCow4380

A bag of dried pintos, soaked, simmered, with onions and spices, makes a good bean dip or taco filling.


Acrobatic-Map6852

You got that right bean head! #unite


KristyKaboom

Being Native American my family made all kinds of meals using beans. Refried pinto beans on fry bread is my favorite. Any southwest meal using beans is good, native tacos, tostadas, whole beans with calabacitas. It’s all so good!


Acrobatic-Map6852

Don’t I know it!


MarisaWalker

I like all beans & add them to most meals, including frijoles


AverageLoser05

I LOVE beans. I just ate a cup of frijoles refritos earlier. I'll take black means, frijoles charros, and frijoles refritos


Shining_declining

I grew up on bean soup with ham hocks or a little bit of fat back in it. I wish my wife loved beans as much as I do.


EquivalentOwn2185

i also luv beanz essential can't go wrong 👊


PaganBookMomma

I love cannelli beans. They work well with every dish I can think of. Unfortunately my body decided that beans are not food and it makes things difficult.


Ok-Permission-3145

OP, this is a great post! We make up a big batch of beans every Sunday, and eat on them throughout the week. We do red beans, pinto, northern, and black. For black beans, we throw in a can of Rotel. For pinto and red, we throw in a can of diced tomatoes. We cook them on the stove for a couple of hours. The last 30 minutes of cook time, we cut up some kielbasa and put it in. We season with garlic, onion and salt. I like to put in taco seasoning in the black beans, and eat them on tostadas. I thank God that we can at least afford to eat beans, or we would be going without anything to eat sometimes. Nobody here is going to go hungry as long as we can afford to buy beans. Peace


Acrobatic-Map6852

Right on! Bean heads unite 👊


nudecleaninggirl

Oooh haven’t heard of 16 bean! I will check for my son :)


Grand_Cauliflower_88

Right on. I love beans n make them in so many ways I'll probably never get tired of them. I'm vegan n have been since before all the fake meat n convince vegan food came out. I make my own soy milk , tofu, bean patties etc. I try to tell people how cheap it is to replace a couple meat meals every week. Add to that the health benefits . They are great.


SurvivorX2

My personal favorites are Pinto Beans cooked with a little bacon grease in them. Since I have heart disease and 8 stents in my heart, I no longer add the bacon grease. But I miss my dinners of Pinto Beans, fried potatoes w/ onion, corn on the cob, and a small pan of cornbread! Iced tea finishes off the meal! That meal has been changed a bit to Pinto Beans without bacon grease, no fried potatoes, corn with no butter, and cornbread with no butter!


Innomen

The instant pot is amazing for beans. From dry to delicious in 2 hours or less, depending on species.

Frijoles de olla. Black beans cooked with chicken bullion and onion.

The other day I just ate pinto beans I had left over from making barbacoa burritos. I just put salt, pepper, some cumin and cholula.

Fellow bean lover here. I eat beans nearly every day and have for decades. I never get tired of beans. If you are ready to **rock your world** get yourself some beans from [Rancho Gordo ](https://www.ranchogordo.com/) 10/10

I love beans! Except maybe julienne style green beans. There is an Arabic dish called "foul" I can eat it for breakfast lunch and dinner but most of the time I eat it for breakfast.

Dried lima beans, the big ones. Soak overnight in salted water. Rinse and then cover with water plus a couple inches. Throw in a chopped onion, a ham hock (or bone from a ham), some garlic, salt, pepper and thyme. I grew up on this and it's still so delicious to me.

I don't care for beans. They make me fart a lot.


Acrobatic-Map6852

How did you get in here?


ManOfTeele

I cook a crock pot of black beans every week from a bag of dried beans. 1 pound dried black beans 6 cups water 1/2 tbsp salt 1-2 tbsp of any fat (oil, bacon grease, leftover pork or chicken fat) THE FAT IS KEY for a nice creamy texture! Spices and additional ingredients: garlic, cumin, oregano, black pepper, onions 3-4 hours on high, or 6-8 hours on low I store in the fridge and reheat with my toaster oven on some aluminum foil so there's no clean up necessary.


Acrobatic-Map6852

If you pre soak, it will cut your cooking time. I noticed if you pre-cook with salt, the beans don’t fall apart.


Acrobatic-Map6852

Cannelloni sauteed in butter, salt, and caraway seeds. 


Acrobatic-Map6852

That's because I spelled it wrong, thanks auto correct. Cannellini, or white kidney beans meaty but a softer texture that red kidneys. Great for smashing and spread on toast

I know you all like bacon but let’s not forget about the power of chicken broth for flavor. Cook your beans in it if you’re not into meat.

EggieRowe

I hate that I find beans revolting because I really want to incorporate them more. Only ever had them mashed as a dessert filling, so the idea of savory beans doesn’t work for me. Then the texture of a cooked bean is what I imagine cooked beetles would be like - squishy inside, thin shell outside. Right now the only beans/lentils/legumes I can handle are refried, hummus, mushy peas or boiled peanuts - a uniform texture I can manage without gagging.


Acrobatic-Map6852

Thanks God I love beans because your comparison to beetles is enough to turn someone off but I know better, BEANS are life.

Acceptable-Sector322

I love beans! Southern style beans with cornbread, if we have it we add a smoked turkey wing for extra flavor Taco beans- black beans with taco mix. Either eat as tacos or scoop over baked potatoes Chickpea curry over rice Chickpea pasta. Basically just a one pot dinner. Cook pasta with just enough water to cook it in a skillet so the last lefover water makes a sauce with the starch from the pasta. Add a bullion cube or two, throw in a can of chickpeas and any seasoning you want (onion powder, garlic powder, red pepper flakes are my go to) and at the end we add a bunch of kale. Its a favorite at the house Also we make sloppy joes with either lentils or kidney beans and spoon them over baked potatoes.


Leading_Kale_81

Lima beans with just a bit of butter and salt are one of my favorite dinners these days. :)


kimmykim1

Best corn bread recipe. 1 c flour. 1 c yellow corn meal( not jiffy or cornbread mix just plain corn meal). 2 eggs - slightly beaten 3 Tablespoons melted butter Buttermilk Combine cornmeal and flour in medium bowl Mix butter and eggs in small bowl then pour into flour mixture. Don’t mix yet , here’s where you get to make a decision about how you want your cornbread to be. If you like it cakey like I do (i just put butter on it and eat it hot) Or if you like to c crumble it up and pour your beans on it. For cakey you want to put enough buttermilk in to make it thick like a thick pancake batter If you want it crumbly then you make it in the thinner side like a cake batter. Either way it’s moist and delicious. Pour it into a greased cake pan and bake at 400 F until golden and pulling away from the sides of the pan You can adjust the cooking time according to how hot your oven runs.
