Easy Cowboy Beans (Frijoles Charros) image

This is a tasty, zesty side dish that can easily become a main meal. Serve soupy with warm flour tortillas or crusty bread, crumble corn bread on top, or scoop up with tortilla chips. Like mac and cheese, it's a great comfort food. It is easy to make because it doesn't require constant attention and is good for everything from a family meal to a football party. It can easily be doubled. Check flavor before serving and alter seasonings to taste if necessary. Top with more onion and cilantro as desired. If there are any leftovers, they hold up well and taste great the next day.

These beans were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I think I'll try using less chili powder next time.

Not a fan. The beans were mushy and the sauce was too thick. I think I'll stick to my old cowboy bean recipe.

Very average. I found the recipe to be a bit bland and the beans were a bit tough. I think it could have used more seasoning and maybe some fresh cilantro or lime juice.
