Open in Pepper →A Can Of Black Beans Saves Dinner
A couple cans of black beans in the pantry means you're never really out of dinner. They're cheap, they keep forever, and they turn rice, corn, and whatever's left in the crisper into a full meal.
Cooks on Pepper reach for this collection on the nights the fridge looks empty and nobody wants to run to the store — or when meat prices have them stretching a pound of ground beef further than it wants to go.
Every recipe here leans on that can: black bean and rice soup, the best black bean burger, a black bean burrito bowl, black bean corn tostadas, Doritos taco casserole with seasoned black beans and Ro-Tel, black bean salad, and even healthy black bean brownies.
Quick Tips
- 1
Rinse them well
Drain and rinse canned beans under cold water for 20 to 30 seconds. It washes off the starchy canning liquid that tastes tinny and makes salads cloudy.
- 2
Dry beans for burgers
Pat rinsed beans dry with paper towels and let them sit 10 minutes before mashing. Wet beans make patties that fall apart on the skillet.
- 3
Bloom the spices
Cook cumin, chili powder, and garlic in the hot oil for 30 to 60 seconds before the beans go in. It pulls out far more flavor than stirring them in later.
- 4
Mash some for body
For soup, mash about 1 cup of the beans against the pot and stir them back in. It thickens the broth without any flour or cream.
