Shiner Bock Black Beans

Black beans are the perfect stand alone dinner or side addition for a bigger meal. I have been working and adjusting this recipe for years to create the perfect black bean recipe for eating on their own or using in other recipes. The Shiner Bock adds a richer flavor to the beans. These are kind of spicy but not too spicy. Spice them up or down as you like. This is perfect for a weeknight dinner with a green salad or fruit and a country bread loaf picked up from the local bakery department. Cook longer or shorter depending on how soft you like your beans. These are even better after sitting in the fridge for a day. Add whatever toppings you like but I like Mexican cheese like Queso Fresco or Cotija, avocado, tomatoes and cilantro. Don’t forget to buy extra Shiner Bock to go with dinner!

Vegetarian Chili

Whether looking for an easy fix and forget crockpot dinner or a dish to warm to soul and spirit on a chili winter day, this chili has the spice and flavor to feed a hungry family or one with leftovers. If you want to get fancy, you can start with mixed dry beans to add and extra step but the canned beans are easy and make this a really quick dish. Cook it in a big pot on the stove and at is ready as soon as it is bubbly and heated through or let simmer longer to let the flavors mingle. This is perfect served with a salad or a whole grain loaf of peasant bread.
