Answer 1

KIDNEY BEANS IN SOUR CREAM

2 (15 oz.) cans red kidney beans
3 lg. onions

Drain beans and put in a casserole baking dish. Saute the onions, sliced thick, in the cooking oil. Mix the sour cream, or yogurt, with the onions. Add salt and pepper to taste and stir into the beans. Bake 30 minutes at 350 degrees.


CONFETTI BEAN DIP

1 round loaf crusty bread

Sour Cream Mixture:

12 oz sour cream
1 tablespoon cream
1 - 2 jalapeno or poblano peppers, minced
2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
1/4 cup ea. red, yellow, green peppers, chopped finely

Bean Mixture:

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1/4 tsp ground cumin seed
2 16 oz cans dark kidney beans
3 cloves garlic, finely minced
salt and pepper to taste

First, create a bread bowl.

Cut a circle into the crust of the bread near the top. Scoop out the bread from the center leaving a shell about 1/2-3/4 inch thick. Combine sour cream and peppers, cilantro and set aside.

To prepare the bean dip, heat the olive oil in a skillet. Saute onions until lightly browned. Add cumin. Stir and set aside.

Answer 2

Chunky Chili

1 pound lean ground beef
1 bay leaf
1 small onion, chopped
1 t. Worcestershire sauce
1 t. salt
2 cans (8 oz. ea.) tomato sauce
2 t. chili powder
2 cans (15 oz. ea.) kidney beans

Brown the ground beef in a skillet. Drain the kidney beans. In the crock pot, combine the beef with remaining ingredients. Cover and cook on high for 2 to 3 hours. Be sure to remove bay leaf before serving. This is a very thick chili. Add 1 cup of water to make a thinner chili. Serve with rice or corn chips and cheese or a big dollop of sour cream.

For Red beans, you can make soups and desserts out of them. If it is for soup, add pork or chicken to go with it.
