I am going to share with you what I cooked for dinner last night! It’s quick, easy, makes great leftovers and is pretty healthy too! My Mama used to make this quite a bit. As a kid I didn’t like it (ate it but complained) but now I really enjoy it and so do the friends that I have cooked it for! I usually only make this dish when I am totally out of groceries and have to result to the cupboard. If your on a tight budget, this is a great meal as it usually turns into multiple meals!
I am going to give you the portions that I use for me and my honey. We get a couple days of lunch out of this also!
In a big pot I cook 2 cans Black beans (last night I used Kidney), 2 cans of Corn, and 2 cans of Stewed Tomatoes! Add (to taste) Salt, Pepper, and lots and lots of Cumin! I also chop a little Garlic and throw it in 1st to let it cook up a tad before adding all of the other ingredients. Last night I threw in a bit of Chili powder which worked well w/ the dish!
Now here is where it gets personal…You can add cooked chicken, tofu or other preferred meats. I serve it on a bed of rice w/ some cheddar melted on top. I like it best with rice myself! You can have this as your main meal or leave it plain (no rice/meat) for a nice side dish!
Enjoy! Let me know what you and your family think of this one!?
