From Canned Beans To Charro Beans | No one Will Know The Difference ❤

CHARRO BEANS is one dish I prepare often, they are very popular here in South Texas, we also love to barbecue and have family gatherings and Charro Beans are a must... Charro Beans from a can started when I was in a rush to come up with a side dish and I didn't have time to cook a fresh pot of beans, so I used canned and now it's the way to go for me especially if I'm in a rush. It takes a few minutes and a few ingredients to prepare these and no one will know the difference.
INGREDIENTS----------------
4 16oz Cans Pinto Beans (I used Bush's)
5 slices thin cut bacon (chopped)
1/3 med onion (chopped)
1 large Roma tomato (diced)
1 finely minced garlic clove
1 jalapeño (diced small) (optional)
Small bunch cilantro (chopped)
1 1/2 Tbsp Chicken bouillon tomato flavored (Knorr)
2 C. water
DISCLAIMER
Do not eat or serve this dish to anyone who is or might be allergic to any ingredient in this dish.

This was a popular dish for us kids growing up. With buttered homemade tortillas, Mom was able to feed her 11 children on a “dime”.

[@rachelcookswithlove]

Same in our house my friend, thank you for sharing. ❤️

[@paulanzaldua3193]

Yes, but not canned beans, mom’s always cooked a pot of beans weekly 👍

[@rachelcookswithlove]

@@paulanzaldua3193 this is just an easy option I gave, but a freshly made pot of beans is always best my friend. ❤️

[@anitarodriguez7297]

I so enjoy watching you, Rachel. I'm 74 years young and u know what? You bring back memories of my childhood. You are keeping the traditions of Mexican cooking alive. You are so sweet and your instructions are spot on. Keep doing what ur doing and my best to Ron 💖

I love your “bowl cozy.” Pretty and keeps the beans warm and the fingers safe.

[@dstat74]

I love that you use Bush’s beans; they taste great with all the other ingredients. If I had to do that step from scratch, they wouldn’t get made.

[@arleneorosco5128]

I just have one question, how much tomatoes? I don't see the amount in the description. Lol...if you can let me know....Thank you

Why didn’t you list the amount of the ingredients for the charro beans

[@leighannedearingsilva6112]

I discovered Charro Beans at a restaurant we went to for breakfast a few weeks ago. They were so delicious!!! So naturally, yours was the first KZbin channel I came to in order to find a recipe, and you didn't disappoint! I'm putting my pot of beans on right now! ***Update*** I made the beans, and they were AMAZING! Muchas Gracias, Rachel!

[@pamelahaase384]

[@lostribe5130]

I made the beans today just like you wrote it except that I was lucky to find a big 53 Oz can of Bush's pinto beans rather than four little ones. I absolutely loved the way they turned out! I'm the one who has hard water and bad luck with beans. These are delicious and flavorful and remind me of my favorite charro beans out at a restaurant. I ate three big bowls of them today! I'm doing them this way from now on. Thanks. I do think that special tomato bouillon is the key.

[@deirdree5215]

Thank you for the easy way! My mother in law said they were good and ate 3 helpings! I didn't tell her I used canned beans! Lol That's between me and you!

[@ButbyBhggyhggh-hn6tk]

He visto y he hecho dos o tres recetas de frijoles charros tex-mex muy buenas...pero me quedo, sin duda, con la suya....para mi es la mejor, sin discusion alguna. Muchisimas gracias por darnos esta esplendida receta. Muchas gracias, Rachel, y saludos desde Pinto (Madrid -España-).

Great idea, thank you so much.❤👍

[@melissafields3376]

Looking at this; I remember that about a year ago, I wanted to try to make my beans more flavorful . And I can't believe I accidentally made charro beans! The only difference was instead of the chicken tomato bullion; I used chicken bullion and 2 tablespoons of tomato paste. I'll try your recipe tonight 🙂

[@sherrygraham7610]

Very very good love them thank you 🥰😊

[@dvusgrl911]

I made this for my boyfriend. He said he loves charro beans. I was worried as this was the first time I ever made it. He LOVED IT! Thank you!!!

[@dvusgrl911]

My second time making them….🤤🤤🤤🤤

[@roadking62]

Thank you for this recipe! It was AWESOME! I followed the recipe but with 2 exceptions, I didn't have jalapenos, so used serranos & i added 1/2 lb of diced up beef summer sausage. Served with sweet cornbread. My wife said it was the best thing I have made in awhile! It was so good that i turned around & made another batch & canned it for a quick nights dinner. Very good! Thanks again!
