Growing up I remember my mom would always have homemade beans ready, for breakfast, or lunch or dinner. There was always some ready. My mom would freeze her beans also to have them ready for a fast meal. She showed me how to make these growing up so I could pass down the recipe to my kids one day.

I like beans but couldn't find a flavor that made me want to eat them for days until that was the only thing we had to eat. So with pinto beans we received from food banks, i set out to make something tasty and filling. This is 100% my own recipe. Let me know what think of it.

I thought I should put the basic on how to cook beans since they became my everyday food. I hope it helps.

I was kind of curious how it would go but it turned out wonderfully. It has a sweetness and is very tasty.

I'm trying to get different ideas for having less meat in my diet. This stew/gruel/goulash has been a life saver, and is very nice because it can be spiced to taste.Add what you think would taste good in whatever ratio you like...but tell me all about your variations!

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.

I eat chicken during special occasions. Today it is on of those days!

I used my left over vegetables . One egg plant was gone half bad, used my frozen tomatoes , and add a can of black beans. You can use any can of legumes ( chickpeas , white beans, but lentils would not be a good idea, )if you don’t want to use oven you can use same pot to cook if you are too lazy or have no time. . I think putting then to oven make taste better.

My Dad loved beans with every meal, so I cannot eat them without thinking of him and "home". You may use this recipe with any kind of beans. Navy beans or pinto beans are good made with ham too and I would not add lemon pepper to pinto beans.

Healthy and delicious green beans thoran is so easy to make and is very healthy as well.

This recipe is a delicious and it taste best when had with rasam rice or sambar rice or any kuzhambu.Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you.

My oldest son (20yo) called and said he was bored. I said, "Come hang out with me, I'll cook!"Sorry, but I learned to cook for a family of 5, so even though I'm now divorced and live by myself, I still cook for a family of 5!Enjoy and let me know if you have any suggestions.
