Borracho beans are mexican tradition!! They're amazing! For anyone new trying them out, you cannot taste the beer. It is a bit spicy but I promise just a bit. If you want it more spicy, add in another Serrano pepper.

    Traditional Borracho beans simply add beer to the broth, in my rendition I soaked the beans in beer before cooking as well, giving them an extra oomph of flavor and making them “doubly” drunk. ;)

    Raised in South Texas in a family of 6, this dish was a staple growing up. It is inexpensive and oh so yummy! My mother would serve this with a batch of biscuits and there was nothing left when we were through. It is still one of my favorite comfort meals to this day.

    Well, this is technically the 4th meal with the steak and 2nd for the pork butt. Over the Easter holiday we had a cook out. My husband used the last of the sirloin to make his baked beans. I wish he’d give me the recipe lol my daughter took some pork butt and the rest went into the pot with the leftover beans. Very hearty and very delicious. Something easy to throw together in a couple of minutes when you have a Fridge full of leftovers.

    Did you know that black beans are actually purple? They contain a pigment called anthocyanin, which are also found in red cabbage and blue berries, and which aid in the prevention cell and tissue damage, in the form of oxidation. Not only that, black beans are also a great source of protein and fiber which promote digestion and heart health.Note:* You can substitute can black beans for freshly made ones.**You can substitute dried cilantro for fresh one.#CA2025
