Noah's Stovetop Beans

SAVE ✓ SAVED ADD TO MEAL PLAN PRINT

This recipe was created by one of our cooking instructors, Noah. As a college student, he made sure to cook for himself to save money and these beans remain a staple! They can be made quickly, using canned beans of your choice, onion, and some spices. These beans can be stored in the fridge for the week and can be used in a variety of ways as a main or a side. Serve with rice, toss in a Yum Bowl, roll in a burrito, or add to a taco.
