imeverywoman Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I'm making chili from dry beans. Does anyone have a recipe? I'm wondering what quantity of beans to soak tonight. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love2read Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I've found that 1/2 cup of dried kidney beans soaked and cooked is about the same, maybe a little more, than a can. Watch them while you're cooking them or they'll turn starchy and mushy. I've done that more times than I care to admit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imeverywoman Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 Uh-oh! I'd better go and put some away. I measured out 1.2 lbs for tomorrow's chili. We'll be eating chili forEVER with as many beans as I've set aside! Thanks for your response. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aubrey Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Best chili. EVER. 1 lb. dried pinto beans 3 T chili powder 2 T dehydrated onions 1 T granulated garlic 1 tsp. oregano 2 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper Wash beans. Put into pot with spices. Cook until done, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Meanwhile, brown 1 lb. ground beef (if desired), and drain. Add meat to the beans with an 8 ounce can of tomato sauce and two 14 ounce cans of diced tomatoes. Simmer to blend flavors. ENJOY!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imeverywoman Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 Thank you very kindly, dear woman! :) C'mon over for dinner, if you like! I'm making a killer chili with some yummy cornbread..... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imeverywoman Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 Put beans to cook with which liquid? Water? Approximately how much? I know, too many questions, but I'm thick like that. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Jessica* Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I love this Boilermaker Tailgate Chili recipe from AllRecipes.com. Just have your beans soaked and cooked beforehand. We get local grassfed beef for a really great price, so I just use beef and skip the sausage. And I don't use as much meat as the recipe calls for, because 3 lbs for 10 servings seems extremely excesssive. Also, you can omit the bacon bits and beer without ruining the flavor. Now I want chili instead of stir fry for dinner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aubrey Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Put beans to cook with which liquid? Water? Approximately how much? I know, too many questions, but I'm thick like that. :P Sorry--I just now saw this. I assume you mean me, because I had to call my friend who gave me this recipe w/ the very same question. She just laughed. :confused: I put water in. More than enough to cover the beans. Then I try to keep an eye on it, because that's not enough water. You have to add loads more, but I don't want watery chili, so I do it some at a time since I don't know how much. Have I ever told you what a good cook I am? No? That's because I'm not. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
