The Boss Beans

Submitted by Mindelicious

"This is very easy to throw together and you probably have all the ingredients on hand. I came up with this as I had too many baked beans and they are too hard on digestion when eaten straight. You can serve this many different ways....as dip/topping for nachos/tortilla chips, wrap up in a tortilla, over toast for breakfast, alongside a baked potato, or throw in some rice, macaroni, or bowtie pasta for a main meal!!"

What's not to love about this dish! Spice (some - no worries not overly spicy) beans, tomatoes ~ all of this equals one part good for stomach, 2 parts good for your health, and 3 good for your soul. I didn't change anything, except add a little more spicy level and some grated sharp cheddar to the top when serving. Yum-O - loved it! Made for Veggie Swap March 2011

I never thought about using baked beans as an ingredient, or embellishing them -- depending on your perspective. But these were great! So simple, but it really dresses up the traditional baked bean side dish. I used 2 teaspoons chili powder, and being a spice wimp, I'm going to cut it down to one next time. But that's just personal preference. I used a yellow bell pepper, but I might switch to green next time just for the color contrast (the corn already adds the yellow). Thanks for a great creation!
