When life gives you beans

When life gives you beans, sometimes you burn them!

 Those are not black beans! I burnt these beans to a crisp

When that happens you have to wipe away the tears (because you almost burned down the house and dinner is ruined) and come up with something else for dinner fast because the family is telling you how starving they are. So you are going to start all over again and create something better

This is a really easy dish. My kids and husband love it! I use it for burritos, with rice or on top of homemade nachos. You can add whatever you want to it but here is the recipe I use

1lb. ground beef or turkey

3 cups of beans ( I use kidney/pinto and black beans.)

1 cup old fashioned oats

1 small onion

3 cloves of garlic

2 tbs taco seasoning

1 cup of water

salt to taste

cook the meat and then add all other ingredients and let cook on low heat, covered, for about 20-25 minutes
