The Prudent Wife

Sometimes I get a hankering for some delicious Ranch Style Beans, so I decided to create this super simple recipe! We had some gorgeous heirloom Italian tomatoes we had gotten at Farmers Market the day before, so used those. I will post a second recipe for canned items! That way, you can make it no matter what you have on hand. Prudent cooking is all about using what you have!

2 teaspoons onion powder

2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

salt to taste

1 chopped heirloom tomato 

Saute the onion in a large saucepan for a few minutes, and a tiny bit of olive oil, until cooked through. While it is cooking, measure out the spices in a bowl, mix and then dump in to the tomatoes. Stir to blend. Add 2-3 cups of beans. Heat and serve!
