beans, beans, good for your heart
the more you eat 'em
the more you f........
beans, beans, the musical fruit
the more you eat, the more you toot
the more you toot, the better you feel
so eat your beans for every meal
That's the jingle we learned - makes kids giggle every time.
I used to just drain the beans but then I read somewhere that rinsing decreases the chances that the beans will make you gassy so I started rinsing too.
To add to the thread drift
I'll add mine:
2 lbs ground beef
1 lb pork sausage
2 med. to large onions, chopped
2-3 tbsp ground cumin
2 tbsp dried oregano
1-2 28oz cans crushed tomatoes
1 beer
5-10 cloves garlic (or 2 tbsp granulated)
1-2 poblano chiles
2-3 jalpenos
1-2 tbsp Ancho chili powder
fry the pork, drain leaving the grease in the pan, fry the beef, drain leaving the grease, fry onions. Drain and discard the grease.
In a blender empty the 1 can tomatoes, some beer, add garlic and all the peppers and puree. Put all this in a pot and simmer 2 hours adding any extra beer or water as to control the consistency. At the end add any seasonings to taste.
Sometimes I add beans. Either canned black or pinto, rinsed.
I always drain and then rinse them thoroughly before adding them in.
