I just made a list of my pantry items and found that I had 24 cans of kidney beans. Can you believe it? As my workmates used to say, I "am organizationally impaired."

Other than chili, what recipes do you make with kidney beans? I used to use them in my salad, but with 24 cans, I will get really tired of it, really fast. Thanks in advance for the recipes.

I would make chili to freeze and a big bowl of salad and donate the rest to a food pantry.

I've made this for years:

http://www.food.com/recipe/best-in-t...d-beans-175872

we eat it as a main dish served over corn bread. Also sub butter beans for the lima beans cause we like them better

I make 1 can kidney, shell beans, or lima beans and 1 can corn and add onion or bacon fried and make mash potato and put on top. cn put in oven and brown a bit. depends how many you feed at one meal.

Battle Axe

This is from the little cook book that came with an old crock pot. It was called Husband Pleasin' bean pot.

1 chopped onion
3 strips bacon
1 pound hamburger

cook together until onion translucent

1 can butter lima beans drained
1 can red kidney beans drained
2 cans pork and beans not drained
2 cans Northern white beans drained

1/4 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons white vinegar
1 teaspoon dry yellow mustard
1 cup ketchup
1 teaspoon liquid smoke
salt and pepper to taste

Crock pot at least 1 hour, but can be left all day on low

Has to be served in bowls with spoons as it is like a chili or stew.

This is much like another recipe here, but has hamburger.

I have used them in pasta salad. But you must rinse and drain them first. I have also used them in rice and ground beef dishes and have also used them in taco meat for tacos. One of my favorite is broccoli salad that has raisins and mayonnaise in it I rinse the beans and drain them very well and add them to it and it is good.

And yet another...
drain, but don't rinse 1 can of kidney beans
add 1 chopped green pepper
1 diced stalk celery
Dollop of sour cream
A "bit" of sugar to taste
mix and refrigerate for about 1 hour---serve

a bit of something different to add to table at mealtime.
