Mostly From Scratch Amazing Black Beans
These are called mostly from scratch because we use canned black beans instead of dried but we give it a real flavor upgrade to taste like it came from a restaurant. These are delicious and so easy to make.
What I love about this recipe:
- It uses canned black beans which save so much time
- It can be used as a meal with rice or as a side with meat
- It is really big on flavor and is healthy
