Bean Bowls

Someone asked about how I make our bean bowls, so I thought I’d share. Lately we have been eating these one night per week and we all seem to love them. This meal is so simple and quick that it’s hardly a recipe, but I’ll share it anyways.

Bean Bowls

I use this recipe for cooking the beans. I rotate pinto beans and black beans for a bit of variety. I love doing them in the slow cooker since they don’t scorch and at the end of the day I just have to prepare the condiments.

To serve: ladle beans into bowls, leaving enough room for any of the following toppings:

  • Grated cheese
  • Salsa
  • Tomatoes with garlic
  • Chopped onions or scallions
  • Tortilla chips
  • Cooked and seasoned ground beef
  • Sour cream
  • Jalapeno spread
  • Chopped fresh cilantro

  1. I think these sound great. I’m going to have to include them on my list of recipes to try. That jalapeno spread sounds great too. Thanks so much for sharing! Have a good week.

  2. I love beans, but my husband is such a carnivore, it’s hard to convince him on something like this. Unless it had tons of meat too.

  3. The link to the bean recipe is out of action. Do you have a copy of this recipe on hand, by any chance?
