EASY, QUICK AND TASTY BASIC BEANS (CROCKPOT)



Easy, Quick and Tasty Basic Beans (Crockpot) image

This is the easiest, fastest, tastiest way to prepare beans. I grew up in a Mexican family and needless to say, beans are a staple of our diet. My stepmom has been making us beans like this for years. This can be done with pinto or black beans & is the perfect thing to have on hand for quick, easy and inexpensive weeknight meals. These beans are healthy and loaded with tons of protein and fiber. You can easily refry these by mashing these in a pan with a little heated oil. I usually prepare a crockpot of beans on Monday and then have them all week in burritos, on tostadas, in bean bowls with chicken or beef....there are so many things that can be done with them. I know that the amount of salt sounds like a lot but if you use less, the beans wont have any flavor...I learned this through experience!

Simple baked bean dish to serve at a BBQ or potluck. You can pick any variety of beans you wish. I highly recommend at least one can of Chilli Beans. Garbanzo, Kidney, Black, White Northern and Lima beans are all good choices too. You can also choose the flavor of BBQ sauce to mix up the flavor. There is not really a wrong choice, just your preference. Just as delicious vegetarian too!
