A Feast of Fridays: Big Bean Blast

Everybody in your family will love Big Bean Blast – even the little kids! The cook in your home will love it, too, and not just because it’s simple, inexpensive, and very nutritious.

It’s also one of Texas Pepper Jelly’s extremely easy Crock Pot Meals!

Ingredients:                                                   

1 cup chopped onion

1 minced garlic clove

3 cups cooked (or canned) large lima or butter beans – or both – drained and rinsed

1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes, plus all of the juice

1 bottle of Texas Pepper Jelly’s Sweet Ginger Garlic Habanero Hot Sauce

salt and pepper to personal taste

What to do:

Dump it all into your crockpot and set the dial to “low.” Go to work, or to the mall, or just take a nap. The point is, you don’t have to hang around the kitchen; let the crockpot do all of the work and worry about dinner.

When everybody comes home from work or school, dip up a bowl of Big Bean Blast for each and stand back.

Eating this is a blast. You’ll really understand the name of this dish later that night, though.

Totally worth it. TOTALLY WORTH IT!

Fix a big pan of cornbread to go with the Big Bean Blast, and you’ve got a MEAL.
