A can of kidney and can of black beans. What to do? (sugar, pepper)

[Dayton Sux]

I have these two cans of beans sitting in the cubboard and was wondering what do to with them (not sure why i bought them!). I was thinking of draining them and mixing them with rice for some sort of salad.

Im open to recipe ideas and suggestions!

Make burritos and add them, put the beans in a big salad, red beans or black beans and rice, you can make your own refried beans with the can of red beans, Enchilada casserole.

I would make a mixed bean chili, and serve it in bread bowls with shredded cheddar and chopped white onions sprinkled on top.

^^^^ I agree, make a chili and toss those beans in it.

Pork and tomato stew




roast some country style pork ribs, then add large can stewed tomatoes...your favorite brand and flavor
add sliced onion and any veggies you like, stew till pork is completely softened. season as you like from mild to spicy.

add drained and rinsed beans at end to warm through.

I would use them separately.

There are tons of recipes online for Cuban and Mexican dishes using black beans, simplest of which would be black beans and rice as a base for filling burritos, add whatever toppings you like. And this looks awfully good... http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes...y_black_beans/

Kidney beans you can add to stews and chilies, make bean salad with, and sprinkle over tossed green salads. All in all they are my least favorite bean.

All good suggestions above. You could also make a bean salad.

3-4-5 Bean Salad

2/3 cup vinegar
2/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup salad oil
salt and pepper
Stir until sugar is dissolved. Add

1/2 cup chopped onion
3-4 cans of drained and rinsed beans...green beans, wax beans, kidney beans, black beans, corn, etc.

Chill a few hours or overnight. It will keep for a week, at least

A good way to use the black beans: Black Bean and Corn Salad II Recipe - Allrecipes.com

When I made it, I subbed red onion for the green onion and left out the red bell pepper (just personal preference). It works well as a stand alone salad, as a salsa with tortilla chips, and as a salsa for pulled pork tacos.

The 3 bean salad upthread looks good, but does the sugar seem like a lot?
