Quick N Dirty Ranch Style Beans Use Up Leftovers Recipes

QUICK N' DIRTY RANCH STYLE BEANS (USE UP LEFTOVERS!)

Steps:

• Shred/dice/crumble meat into a good-sized saucepan.
• Add BBQ sauce and beans- heat over med/high until bubbly. Stir in brown sugar, and keep stirring occasionally until sugar is dissolved and mixture is heated through.
• I like to serve this with mac n' cheese, succotash, and a green salad -- plus maybe some garlic bread if I am feeling decadent. Yum!

DIRTY BEANS AND RICE

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium high heat. Saute onion, bell peppers, garlic, and andouille sausages (cut up) for about 5 minutes or until softened.
• Add the rice, cajun seasoning, and garlic salt stirring until rice is slightly browned, about 2 minutes.
• Pour in tomato sauce, tomatoes, and chicken broth and stir until combined. Bring mixture to a sight boil. Add beans and stir, then reduce mixture to low.
• Cover pan and cook about 18-20 minutes. Stir to fluff the rice. Let cool 2-3 minutes.
• Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and cheese. Enjoy!

SIMPLE RANCH BEANS

Steps:

• Saute pepper and onion for 8 to 10 minutes. Add all ingredients to crock pot and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours.
• Add salt and pepper to taste.
• My friend Sheri usually adds a chopped jalepeno pepper for spicier beans.
