Beans and Grain Recipes

The easy-to-make, classic green bean casserole with french fried onions.

I've made this one for decades, and it is the one I keep going back to. More than one meat-lover has mistaken the bulgur for ground beef.

A scrumptious salad made with millet, black beans, cucumbers and juicy tomatoes.

A very simple and hearty turkey chili recipe from the west coast. Even better the next day and an excellent way to use up leftover turkey.

So filling, and delicious! A good chili is always welcome by my family. Soaked up all the yummy sauce with our homemade dinner rolls. Hmmm, so good!

My family of 3 boys and my husband refuse to eat anything "healthy"...well I made this tvp chili, but did not tell them what was in it. Well between the 4 of them they finished the pot. So excellent!! Easily used to "fool" non vegetarians!

Boston baked beans done the old-fashioned way: dried beans slow-baked for hours in a bean pot with salt pork, molasses and dry mustard, until thick, sticky and deeply sweet-savory. From scratch, no cans.

I've been making Headquarters Chili since before leaving Philly for Vegas in 1991. I use turkey meat, sometimes over rice, sometimes as Sloppy Joes, sometimes as a Tamale Pie. Traditionally I make it for Presidents' Day, but this year I'm doing it for Super Bowl Sunday. It keeps me off the Vegas Strip that replaces our lost Las Vegas Zoo.

The flavor was amazing, the aroma during the cooking filled up our entire house. We used chicken broth instead of beef broth and water, and it made a very tasty base for the soup. A few slices of good bread was all we served with this soup. YUM!

The classic original green bean casserole with french fried onions. You can use frenches french fried onions or the original Durkee french fried onions.

Beef chili with navy beans, one of our many easy chili recipes. Perfect for simmering on the stovetop or use your crock-pot for a slow-cooker chili recipe.

In this recipe, we use both salsa and tomato sauce to make this quick and delicious chili. We like serve this warm chili over a toasted hamburger bun, but just having it directly from the pot is absolutely divine.
