Note: If spicy food is not your thing I would suggest you start with 1/2 tsp of chili powder and adjust from there to your own liking.
Making this Ranch style beans recipe
In a large pot use a bit oil or vegetable broth. Add garlic, beans, optional onions.
Fry all for around 2 minutes, then add chili powder, chopped tomatoes and again optional maple syrup, smoked paprika, cumin, season with salt and pepper.
Cook everything for 10 minutes, serve on plates or bowls. This makes a really satisfying one pot meal, meal prep, dinner, lunch. Also I could imagine it is delicious on pumpernickel bread.
Variations and tips
Baked beans: after cooking this ranch style beans, give everything to a casserole and bake for around 10 minutes at 410°F.
Chili with ranch beans: these are also delicious for chili. I would suggest adding a bit corn and bell pepper to it. The preparation is the same as above. Really delicious with a dollop dairy free sour cream on top, yum.
Quesadillas: it makes such a mouthwatering quesadilla filling. Just use it as filling like I did in my Vegan Cheese Quesadillas. Sprinkle some vegan cheddar or your favorite cheese on top, enjoy.
Texas ranch style beans: use ancho chilies instead of chili powder. Ditch the green beans, use more pinto beans and you’ve got a super easy and delicious Texas ranch style beans in no time.
