I had to scroll down to read this post, since I grew up on Bush’s beans. We have a Bush’s canning factory in the town where I live, so I didn’t even know there were any kind of baked beans in a can until I was an adult! This recipe looks delicious! laurie

Hi, I just went to make your recipe and realized you left out the amount for the onions…I’m going to guess 1 cup cuz I’m already to go…but I’d like to know…am I right?

Since I usually drain and rinse cans of beans, I would like to know what Chef Andy told you to do when you drained the beans. Also what was the the reason not to drain? Thanks,Carole

I love beans! Black beans are my favorite. Everyone in my house enjoys the Cuban classic black beans and rice.

When I make Hamburger Helper, I usually use just half pound of meat, one can of beans (whatever I have on hand) and an extra handful of my own pasta. It makes that one little box feed so many more

We use almost every bean there is but probably use black beans the most frequently. DH makes a killer pot of black beans himself but I use canned beans in recipes that call or a cup of beans or so. I have a great crock pot chicken recipe somewhere that uses canned black beans. Shall I find it for you?

I use a dried 15-bean mix most often, but supplement with [cheaper] Great Northern and kidney beans. Rinse them, and put them in your crockpot with 2-3 inches of water covering them and some salt. Cook on low all day (put a piece of aluminum foil over the crockpot before the lid. That traps in the moisture). Then–here’s the must–serve them with chopped fresh onion and sour cream. I did not even like beans until we had them this way!

Save the leftovers, and put them in your blender with cumin, chili powder, and garlic. Saute some onions, and add the blended beans. Voila–healthy refried beans! Mmmm…burritos, here we come!

Love the bean posts you’ve been writing

Since we don’t eat meat beans are pretty important thing around our house! Our favorites are cannellini and black, but we’re really not too partial. We love tacos made with lentils, or veggie paties with garbanzo beans. My favorite is tomato braised cannellini beans-so easy and yet so yummy. You just saute garlic in olive oil with a little bit of thyme, add in a can of petite diced tomatoes, cook until the liquids are almost gone then add one drained and rinsed can of cannellini (white) beans. It’s super good, we serve it over polenta. Better go make dinner…I think I’m getting hungry!

Sandy, I am tickled to death to have you visit my little blog and that you left a comment. Thanks for your nice words about my tablescape. I was a lurker follower for quite awhile until you moved and then I lost you! I will take care of that!

I do use Bush Beans a lot of times.

Ok, since everyone else is being too polite. What do you do if beans don’t like you? I love the flavor and texture of beans, all beans,—–but I don’t use them often. We pay a high cost in suffering it if we eat them. My husband especially suffers digestionally from them——-Beano and Gas-X really don’t help.
