I love these beans!! As a WW I am always looking for good recipes using dry beans so I can control how much salt is in the dish. I found this dish very flavorful, incredibly rich on my palette. I had no problem at all with the sauce thickening. I used my enamel wear 5 quart. I didn’t have any cumin – I substituted ancho chile powder instead – wonderful! This will become a staple on my table!! :)

erisgrrrl – This recipe for black beans was a bit “saucy” and not as thick as some I have made, which is why I served it with rice. I would probably either strain out some of the sauce or add some corn starch (dissolved in cold water) to the beans/sauce and bring them to a quick boil over the stove to thicken the sauce.

I made these today. The recipe looked awesome and perfect for the black bean and roasted sweet potato tacos we’re having for dinner. I did everything the same but for some reason mine never thickened. Not even a little… :-( Any suggestions? I don’t want to cook them too long and turn them to mush but I’m not sure how else to turn the “broth” into more of a “gravy.”

I love black beans. I am a semi vegetarian (but I eat very little meat…very little!)This menu sounds perfect. It is on my weekly menu for the coming week. Can’t wait to try it!

It is nice to have some meatless meals every once in a while! Last week I made a vegetable torte and we ate every crumb!

Guess who has a whole bag of black beans in her pantry…me! Since I’m attempting to clean out my pantry this recipe will be very helpful. I have been staring at those beans for awhile wondering what to do with them. Thanks! :)

Good to see another Dutch oven user and also someone using beans that are not out of a can! scratchchef
