Ancho Maple Black Beans



I have a thing for beans.  I think it's cuz one of the only things my dad ever made for dinner, when I was growing up, was beanies and winnies.  He didn't make dinner often.  And clearly, he wasn't much of a cook!  But he was always kinda excited about the whole thing when he did have to feed us. My mom was the cook in the family!

Anyhoo, like I said, I have a thing for beans.  They're one of my favorite side dishes.  Here's a recipe for Ancho Maple Black Beans that really knocked my sock off!

I absolutely LOVE the flavor combination in this recipe.  The sweet maple flavor with the Ancho chili powder is killer.  It's almost like a "Mexican Baked Bean" kinda thing.  Overall fairly sweet-just how I like baked beans.  I also really like that they're a snap to make.
