Our pantry is never with less than four cans of Ranch Style Black Beans. We have tried other brands of black beans, thinking to ourselves, well, a black bean is a black bean, but this turns out not to be the case. Ranch Style Black Beans are kick butt awesome, both in texture and in taste. I hope they read this and send me a year's supply of their beans, because damn, we love them so much.
Ingredients
- 2 TBS veg oil
- 1 chopped onion
- 1 chopped green pepper
- 1 chopped carrot
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 cans black beans, rinsed and drained
- 14 oz chicken broth
- 2 c. cubed cooked ham
- ¼ tsp cumin
- ½ tsp salt
