Canned Black Bean Recipe

Canned Black Bean Recipe

We make black beans multiple times a month. My kids absolutely love it. We pack it for school lunch all the time and we frequently use it as part of dinner. This is also a very easy recipe to make at volume and freeze portions of it for the weeks to come. It's delicious, we all love it and I am not sure how I would have gotten through the last few years making daycare lunches every day without it.
