The easy-to-make, classic green bean casserole with french fried onions.

This turned out quite nicely, great mix of textures and flavors. If you use store bought salsa and store bought tortilla chips you will want to watch the salt levels.

Quick, easy and tasty. A great way to make green beans into a delicious side dish.

The flavor was great. Made a few dishes with these refried black beans, burrito and two different multiple-layer dips. Homemade is always the way to go. If you have never tried refried black beans, certainly should add this one to "to-do" list.

Quite tasty and filling. I used black bean instead of pinto beans, I also squeezed half of the lime juice into the dressing, and I omitted the tomatoes that I didn't have on hand. I did think a ripe yet juice tomatoes would add more great flavor. Served it on a bed of lettuce and home-baked tortilla chips.

Black bean hummus with tahini, lime, garlic, and cumin. A southwestern twist on the classic chickpea spread, vegan and ready in 5 minutes in the food processor. Smooth, smoky, and dippable.

Extremely quick and easy to throw together. Turns out much like a cheesy crustless quiche. Uses bisquick baking mix (or you can make your own easily enough).

Easy Jack Daniels spiked smokey baked beans. Enriched with sugar and "spice" and everything nice! :)
