Anjie’s Texas Beans
Warm 2 T. (Tablespoons) oil and sauté:
2 cups chopped onions
4 cloves chopped garlic
1/3 cup chopped bell pepper
Add:
4 Tablespoons Chili-like seasoning (recipe below)
1 T. cumin
Cook 2 more minutes
(If desired, Stir in 1/2 cup reconstituted TVP or 1/2 cup burger type soy crumbles [Morningstar or Boca])
Then add 1 can (or about 2 cups homecooked) of each (low sodium if desired) pinto, red kidney and black beans. You can substutite as desired one or more other types - lentils, white, navy, blackeyed peas, etc. - to total three types of beans.
Add 2 cups canned diced tomatoes
1 small can tomato paste
Simmer gently a few more minutes until flavors blend. Can use different types of beans (lentils, white, navy, or blackeyed peas, etc), or one type (or more) of freshly cooked beans as I usually do.
