I LIKE CANNED BLACK BEANS SEASONED W/ CUMIN, OR COOK MY OWN ADDINF FRESH GROUND CUMIN WHEN COOKING

This is also great w/ 3-4 kinds of beans, canned or home cooked. Served over rice of choice, topped w/ cheese, sour cream, chopped onions or green onios. W/ side dishes of choice.

Vangy won a contest w/ the original recipe which I have tweeked from a Taste Of Home recipe

I love to experiment and most of my recipes come direct from the Holy Spirit. The best "cook book" I have ever used.
