Essentially Chipotle's black bean recipe with added chipotle pepper in mole to spice it up. Great served as a side dish topped with crema and green onions. To make this into a black bean soup, reserve all of the liquid in the cans and blend half of the cooked beans.

Black beans one of the most versatile bean next to chickpeas on the planet, well I think so anyhow..... just saying!!! Lol By the way you may ask why summer savory? Well it just so happens that it is an anti-gas herb so if you don't want the embarrassing problems of gas, just add summer savory it helps out a bunch.

My daughter helped me make this due to my shoulder surgery, keeping a promise

easy peacy for a lazy day

We prefer simmered black beans to have a little bite instead of being too soft, so in our house our black beans are a little wrinkly on the surface. They are still cooked all the way through.In Step 2, if the beans ae exposed to air, they will be too wrinkly when they are done.If you add the sugar in one go in Step 3 the beans will stiffen up and become hard.Let the beans peek out of the water just briefly to get a little wrinkly.

Ripped from the net and altered

My grandmother's recipe with my little twist on it.

I think its the best chili that I have made I'm a long time! The sour cream and pepper jack cheese complete it! Yummy!
