  1. A few changes and one in particular: coconut oil for vegetable oil. I chose fried beans which were cooked in a Crock Pot and in the meantime I browned the onion until crispy throwing in the garlic the final minute. Drained the beans then stirred in the onion/garlic and other ingredients. The directions say to use water to thin the beans but it is much better to use the cooking bean liquid since water is only going to dilute. Prepared for CQ 2017.
     
  2. These were really simple and tasted so good. Great combination. Thanks for sharing, Stacy. Made for CQ4.
     
  3. Quick and easy - these were good!!! I used some leftover homemade black beans, because canned come out a really strange color when mashed.... Thanks for posting! Made for CQ4.
     
  4. Really liked that this was so quick and easy, also liked how easily I could cut it in half for just the two of us. DH loved that these were not spicy hot but more like what his mother used to make. Thanks for the post.
