Dried bean measurements and a struggle recipe.

1/2 cup of dried beans equals one 15 oz can once cooked. A 1 lb bag has 2 cups uncooked and each cup of dried makes 3 cups of cooked beans. This means each 1 lb bag equals 6 cans of beans. Just in case anyone panic purchased but doesn't have experience, you've made a great choice.

You can make a struggle meal of 1/2 cup or 1 can pinto beans mixed with 1 can diced tomatoes. You can expand upon this with an onion, Bell or any sweet peppers, a jalepeneo, any beef or chicken you might have and either taco seasoning or two tbs chili powder and 1 tsp cumin powder and black pepper to taste. Just do what you can, it tastes nice and is filling whatever you can manage. Stay well friends.
