Siesta Roast N Beans Recipes

NACHOS N' BEANS

Steps:

• Take a 1.5qt pyrex bowl and fill the bottom with a layer of corn chips.
• Take about half the cheddar cheese slice it into slices about 2mm thick, and place the slices onto the chips.
• Take the can of beans, and pour the sauce and beans into the bowl.
• Finally make another layer of nachos using more chips and the rest of the cheese on top of the beans. The layer should cover all the beans.
• Place the bowl into the microwave (no cover is needed, since the upper layer of nachos keeps the microwave from becoming dirty), and microwave on High for 5-8 minutes depending on the microwave power. The top layer cooks faster than the bottom layer, so you'll need to experiment to figure out how long it takes the cheese to melt on the bottom.

PASTA N' BEANS

Steps:

• Boil the pasta shells according to package directions.
• Add salt to the pasta water.
• Heat olive oil in a pot and add minced garlic.
• Add cannelloni beans AND the liquid from the cans. I like to mash one of the cans of beans up just a bit, to help thicken the sauce.
• Add tomato sauce.
• Mix well and simmer until pasta is done boiling.
• The longer you let the sauce simmer, the more the flavors will meld. Drain pasta. Serve the pasta with the sauce over it. Enjoy!
• Note: this is great with garlic bread!

CHILI WITH BEEF 'N BEANS

Steps:

• Spray Dutch oven with nonstick spray. Brown meat in a Dutch oven over med-high heat. I like to leave it chunky but you can break up into any size pieces you like.
• Remove meat, reserving drippings in Dutch oven.
• Add chili powder to Dutch oven; cook, stirring constantly, 2 minutes.
• Stir in tomato sauce; cook 5 minutes.
• Add cooked beef back into Dutch oven; stir in beef broth and the remaining ingredients.
• Bring to a boil; lower heat to low and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, 60 - 90 minutes until desired consistency.
• Serving suggestions:
• Top with shredded cheddar cheese or pepper jack, crispy tortillas or oyster crackers
• Serve with corn bread.

HAM N' BEANS

Steps:

• In a large skillet, fried the bacon until crisp then remove from the skillet and crumble.
• Add the onion and ham and saute until browned.
• From there, add the beans, bacon, ham/onion mixture, broth, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, and parsley to your crock pot.
• Turn to low high and let cook for atleast 8 hours then add the salt.
