Beans, Beans, Beans

All this talk about farting has made me crave beans.  I know several folks on this board are bean fanatics, so I'm looking for tasty bean recipes.  No garbanzos, please, they come out looking exactly they way they did going in! Thanks!

Oooh, look at yesterdays calorie countdown - estelle and I both posted bean salads! 

Eggfaces Italian Bean Salad is one of my favorites! Her Chicken and white bean caccatorie is a family favorite. I seem to put beans in everything these days. Yesterday was a crockpot dump day, I had some cooked leftover deboned chicken to which I added 2 cans of Rotel tomatoes, white kidney beans, and fresh brocoli to. It turned out yummy!

Here is one of my favorites. I leave out the avocado as it ups the fatfactor as well as the mushy factor. It is great as a salad, no chips needed - especially in the summer. Enjoy! http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Heathers-Cilantro-Black-Bean-an d-Corn-Salsa/Detail.aspx
