One of the local favorites in Costa Rica, it's a wonderful and comforting meal. Black beans are the best in my opinion! I would recommend spicing this up a little with some hot sauce or even some slices...
This is a soft, creamy dip that goes well with veggies, tortilla chips, or bagel chips. Do not use whipped cream cheese. Prep time is chill time. **Update: After reading Parsley's review, I changed the...
This is so flavorful and yummy! I cannot take credit for it however, I found it in the Healthy Cooking magazine and wanted to share it with everyone! So refreshing, would taste great on a burger or chicken...
I found this one on allrecipes and tweaked it a bit. It's a wonderful salad for a cookout or potluck, and leftovers keep well (it makes quite a large batch). Don't let the long ingredient list scare you...
I saw this recipe in the Tyler newspaper and I don't even like blackeye peas and thought this might be good. Mentioned it to a friend and she had already made it the day before and loved it. Made last...
I was boiling pasta and had a craving for black beans. I very rarely ever make up my own recipe. It turned out great! What I like about this is the raw garlic and onions and it is so easy.
Another one who's history is lost, but I remember, it is good. Like most soups, stews, and chili this is better if made the day before and reheated to serve. It does freeze well for quick meals later.
My husband and I love these. I serve them on homemade whole wheat buns, topped with some cilantro mayonnaise. I use cooked dried beans, but a can of beans works equally well. Using the dried beans I can...
More nutritious and less fatty than cheese chilaquiles, I created this when cooking for groups of 30 people, and now make it for my son and me. I found that when I went to the trouble of rolling up enchiladas,...
These beans cook down and creat a thick, rich sauce. Good to serve over rice or arepas. From Cooking Light. Recipe edited to increase some seasonings suggested by reviewers.
I got this recipe from a cookbook that came free in the mail (from a cigarette company of all things)!! I modified it slighty, and I've gotten nothing but compliments on it. I do tend to go heavier on...
With its black beans and corn, this recipe could just as easily have been called Santa Fe Minestrone. But whatever you call it, it is a sensational soup and makes a filling meatless meal. Perfect for cool...
This has evolved from a recipe I found in community cookbook. Very tasty and spicy depending on the salsa used. I use so many peppers because I like the colors, but you could just use your favorite.
My dad's work was holding a chili cook-off. His employee, Paul, brought in this recipe and won! My mom got the recipe and it has been a family favorite ever since. It isn't too spicy, but if you enjoy...
This is medium-spicy, but like any chili recipe, you can modify this for your own taste by adjusting the amount of chipotle and chili powder used, and the type of canned tomatoes with peppers you use....
This dish is amazingly addictive for something so healthy! I make it as an appetizer for potluck, parties, cookouts, and other get togethers. People always ask me for the recipe.
A terrific recipe to use leftovers from week-end bbq or to make up during the winter months as a wonderful southwestern comfort food meal. We've been re-arranging our kitchen and trying to use up all the...
Was searching for Black Bean burger recipes and decided to come up with something a little different. I love the texture of this burger, it has great flavor and the best part is it's amazing without the...
This rich, meaty and creamy soup is comfort food to the max. You can almost eat it with a fork! Very easy and freezes well in smaller batches so make a bunch and save it for a chilly night.
If you're a vegetarian, this is hands-down the best burger you'll have. Even meat eaters order this one at Houston's. The best thing about this burger is that it doesn't taste like a burger (I hate anything...
A recipe from the book of Splenda. I tried it and it's quite yummy. I omitted the green peas so I used 1 cup of chickpeas. I also omitted the cumin, and fresh coriander.
I loved the Black Bean Soup that the restaurant Lone Star use to serve. So I called a local radio station that has a show called 'Listen to the Mrs.' to ask if they had a recipe for it. This is what they...
The original recipe I found on epicurious many years ago but it used black eyed peas which I don't like. It was also labeled a salsa which I suppose would be good as well but my favorite way to eat this...
This is an oven-baked version of recipe #316377, which uses the grill. I have also changed some ingredient amounts for personal tastes (more filling and sauce). I used Sharon123's Recipe #240822 for the...
My DH's Aunt brings this to several of our get-togethers. It's great served with tortilla chips. You can add more jalapeƱos if you like it spicier, but it's pretty good as is.
The Coach House Restaurant on Waverly Place in New York City was legendary. It was owned by a Greek, the beloved Leon Lianides, and dedicated to serving classic American food in an era when fine dining...
The measurements are optional to your taste. I usually just dump and taste and dump and taste. LOL Good with crab or tuna cakes or with tortilla chips. The yield is approximate.
Recipe is courtesy of a brochure for La Zaragozana Restuarant in Old San Juan, PR. We were there years ago and everything was delicious. (If you go, try their Castillan Garlic Soup also)
This is one of the easiest recipies I know of and it can be served and eaten many ways. It can be served with virtually any chip as a dip for a party (or as I more commonly eat it which is whenever I'm...
From Real Simple magazine, Fake it, Don't Make it section, Nov. 2003. Canned black beans, salsa, sour cream and canned chicken broth-and Lime and dry sherry are optional. OK to freeze since it reheats...
