HEDDY'S BLACK AND RED BEAN SOUP
A yummy soup that even picky kids will love! Red beans and black beans are mildly seasoned and simmered in vegetable broth. With these ingredients this is a healthy vegetarian soup with a complete protein. If you add the chili powder, leave out the maple syrup. It totally changes the taste. Garnish with sour cream, green onions and tortilla chips for a festive meal. This is great served with cornbread.

RED AND BLACK BEAN PIES (WITH POLENTA)
Tasty dinner that freezes well. 1 lb of ground beef or turkey can be added if desired but this makes a wonderful meatless meal. Looks really good if you bake individual pies in ramekins but tastes just as good in pie plates as well and is easier to clean so that's how I usually do it. Also since there is only three of us, I bake one pie plate for dinner and freeze the other for another night. Works great! Be careful not to overbake or this dish will dry out!

BLACK BEAN PIE
Serve this hearty dish with a dollop of cilantro laden sour cream, some Spanish rice, and a mixed green salad. The ingredients for this recipe make a very small 7 inch pie. If you are using a normal sized pan, you might want to increase the amount of black beans to 2 cans, and adjust only the seasonings accordingly. The chopped onion and peppers can remain the same.

Tips:
- For the best results, use dried beans instead of canned beans. Dried beans are more flavorful and have a better texture.
- Be sure to soak the beans overnight before cooking them. This will help to reduce the cooking time and make the beans more digestible.
- If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them. To do this, bring the beans to a boil in a large pot of water. Remove the pot from the heat and let the beans soak for 1 hour.
- To make the pies, you can use a variety of different pie crusts. You can use a store-bought pie crust, a homemade pie crust, or even a puff pastry sheet.
- If you're using a store-bought pie crust, be sure to thaw it according to the package directions.
- If you're making a homemade pie crust, be sure to use cold butter and ice water. This will help to make the crust flaky.
- Be sure to preheat your oven before baking the pies. This will help to ensure that the crusts are cooked through.
- Let the pies cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help to set the filling and make the pies easier to slice.
Conclusion:
Red and black bean pies are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. They're perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual party. With a variety of fillings and toppings to choose from, there's a red and black bean pie for everyone.
