Who doesn't like a delicious meal on the cheap?

Beans make a super healthy cheap meal and Colt and the kids didn't even miss the meat! 

Our grocery list has been a little out of control lately and I was looking to incorporate some healthy, easy, cheap meals back into our busy weeknight dinners.

One way I found to keep the cost down was to make a grocery list of everything I was going to buy and not buying anything not on the list. I know it's hard I still ended up with a bottle of white wine at trader joes and some crackers the kids wanted, it's bound to happen.

 I also tried to repurpose some of my meals, for example this made a fabulous lunch the next day for the family and a few days later I added 2 chicken breast or a little leftover turkey and cheese wrapped in a tortilla for a burrito night.

The black beans would be tasty over rice or fabulous frozen in single serving to pull out as needed for lunch. 

I'm missing a picture here to soak and cook dried black beans so we'll just have to use our imagination and giggle at my mistake.

Take 3 cups dried black beans, washed and picked through for any bad beans and soak overnight in a very large pot of water. (Alternatively for a fast soak method you can add the 3 cups black beans to a large pot and fill with water. Bring to a boil. Cover and turn off heat, allow beans to soak for 1 hour.) 

Drain beans and fill a large pot with water add beans and bring to a simmer. Cook beans for about 1 hour 30 minutes or until beans are tender when tested.

Tip: Whatever you do, DO NOT add salt to the cooking water of the beans. I had learned this when I first became married and set out to make chili, my beans always stayed hard. Why you might ask because I didn't pre cook the beans before adding them to the chili and the salt in the tomatoes made them as hard as bricks. Always pre cook your beans unless you like eating bricks.

Heat 1 tablespoon Olive Oil over medium high heat. 

When hot add 1 Diced Onion and sauté until starting to caramelize. 

Then add:

• 2 whole Diced Carrots
• 2 stalks Diced Celery
• 1 whole Diced Bell Pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chili Powder
• 1 tablespoon Cumin 
• 2 teaspoon Oregano
• 2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 2 teaspoons Smoked Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt

Cook until fragrant about 1 minute.

Stir in:

• 2 cups Chicken Stock
• 28 ounces Canned Diced Tomatoes
• 1-2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (dependent on how hot you like your beans). 

Tip: A great way to save the excess chipotle peppers is to freeze them individually in small ziploc bags to use later.  

Add cooked black beans and bring to a simmer.

Turn heat to low and simmer for 2-3 hours or add to Crock Pot for 6-8 hours on low and let it simmer all day on low for a fuss free cheap dinner! 

Chipotle Black Beans is a favorite easy dinner for under 500 Calories and dinner under $5 in our house. Double win!
