Homemade black beans cooked in an American Lager. This recipe can be served as a side dish with rice, added to your favorite soup, or as a filling for enchiladas.

Remember the other day, I told you guys I wanted to start making more food from scratch instead of buying pre-made or processed foods. Well, so far so good. I have a list of stuff I want to make including this recipe for Homemade Pale Ale Cheez-It Crackers! Beer Bitty is a genius! When you finish drooling over her blog, come back over for my recipe for black beans ;)

Homemade black beans are nothing new at our house. Dried black beans are super cheap (I usually stock up when they’re on sale), easy to make, and the leftovers can be stored in the freezer. I’ll divided it into 2 cup portions; that way if I want black beans with my tacos or need them for a soup, they’re always ready. It’s like having canned beans on hand minus all the sodium.

Cooking them is just as easy as storing. I find the crock pot to be the easiest way. You just add all the ingredients and it does all the work. My plan this week is to share three simple, and completely different uses for this basic black bean recipe. One is going to blow your mind! It did mine, anyways.

I used New Belgium Shift, an American Pale Lager, for this recipe just like my Enchiladas from last week. Again, I’d avoid hoppy beers. The hop flavor could easily overpower your dish. A light wheat flavored beer or a German Kolsch would be another great option.

Beers to Try:

  • Odell Double Pilsner- Odell Brewing Co.
  • Session Lager- Full Sail Brewing Co.
  • Bells Lager Of The Lakes- Bell’s Brewery
  • Kentucky Kolsch- Alltech Lexington Brewing & Distilling Co.

So, go ahead and get your batch of black beans ready. You’re going to need it!
