I always use organic black beans and rinse them really well before using them in any recipe. I've made these a couple times now--I make them a little more "me" by sauteing the onion and garlic in a little bacon grease, then adding the rest of the ingredients. We all love this, especially my eight year old son who ate every bit of his portion on his plate and asked for mine. I know better now to just double this straight off.

great recipe, easy to tweak to make to your taste. I also, as per one of the reviews, drain and rinse beans when I use them from a can. I started by frying onion and garlic, added the rinsed beans and covered with a cup of vegetable broth. added a teaspoon or so of ground cumin, the juice of half a lime and some salt and boiled for 15 mins. then I added the cilantro. I used a good handful of cilantro rather than a tablespoon as I LOVE it! I sometimes like to mash some of the bean (leaving 1/2 of them whole) with a potato masher to make it thicker...great instead of refried beans in burritos etc...Thanks for a good solid base recipe!

I've never made black beans, and I found this recipe by just searching. This was very easy & tasty! I added some lime juice, and had to used minced onion, garlic & dried cilantro, but it was great. No Cayenne for us since it was for the whole family. But my 6 year old loved the beans and had seconds!

Really good as written, but I prefer with some lime juice and pinch of cumin.

I use this recipe for everything! It is simple, but delicious. I always add a bit of water and a cube of chicken boullion to it, it adds so much flavor and makes a great side dish.

Delicious. I am going to add cumin next time (cause we love the stuff) but honestly this recipe needs no tweaking at all! (Okay, okay, I minced the onion and garlic instead of chopping it, but that's a personal textural preference.) Great stuff - a staple for our taco nights, for sure!
