Slow Cooker Spicy Black Bean Corn Casserole Cooking Light Recipes

SPICY CORN AND BLACK BEANS

Sometimes I want to serve something other than Mexican rice with Mexican food. This is what I usually turn to. I like the color contrast, especially when served with red enchiladas.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 (11 ounce) can corn

SLOW COOKER SPICY BLACK BEAN AND SWEET POTATO CHILI

This nourishing, smoky vegan chili is perfect for cold weeknights. Mix everything in the slow cooker before the chaos of the day begins, then just toss in some frozen corn a few minutes before you're ready to eat. As with any chili, toppings go far. Feel free to throw on what you have and what sounds good, like tortilla chips, cilantro or vegan cheese. The recipe calls for either coconut oil or vegetable oil. If you'd like a mild coconut flavor - which plays well with the orange juice in the chili - choose unrefined or virgin coconut oil. For a neutral flavor, choose refined coconut oil or any vegetable oil. Use one chipotle chile for a very mild chili, and four if you like yours very spicy.

Slow Cooker Spicy Black Bean and Sweet Potato Chili image

Steps:

In a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker, combine the sweet potatoes, black beans, tomatoes, orange juice, oil, chipotles and adobo sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, garlic cloves, and dried spices. Stir in 2 teaspoons salt, a generous amount of pepper and 1 cup water. Cook on low until the sweet potatoes are tender, about 8 hours. The chili holds well on the warm setting.
Just before serving, stir in the corn and let it warm through, about 5 minutes. Taste and add more salt and pepper if necessary. Top with avocado and red onion.

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes (4 to 5 small-medium or about 2 large), scrubbed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 (15-ounce) cans black beans, drained
1 (28-ounce) can crushed or diced tomatoes, preferably fire-roasted
3/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup coconut oil or vegetable oil
1 to 4 chipotles from a can of chipotles in adobo, finely chopped, plus 3 tablespoons adobo sauce
2 packed tablespoons light brown sugar
Juice of 1 lime (about 1 1/2 tablespoons)
6 garlic cloves, smashed and roughly chopped
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 (10-ounce) bag frozen corn
Sliced avocado and red onion, for topping

CHEESY, SPICY BLACK BEAN BAKE

Whether or not you've fallen for this cheesy white-bean tomato bake, we'd like you to meet its bolder counterpart, smoky and spiced, with lots of melty cheese. Black beans shine in a deep-red mixture of fried garlic, caramelized tomato paste, smoked paprika and cumin. The whole skillet gets coated in a generous sprinkling of sharp Cheddar or Manchego cheese, then baked until melted. The final result is what you hope for from a really good chili or stew, but in a lot less time. For a spicier rendition, add a pinch of cayenne with the paprika, or douse the final skillet with hot sauce. Serve with tortillas, tortilla chips, rice, a baked potato or fried eggs.

Steps:

Heat the oven to 475 degrees. In a 10-inch ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high. Fry the garlic until lightly golden, about 1 minute. Stir in the tomato paste, paprika, red-pepper flakes and cumin (be careful of splattering), and fry for 30 seconds, reducing the heat as needed to prevent the garlic from burning.
Add the beans, water and generous pinches of salt and pepper, and stir to combine. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top then bake until the cheese has melted, 5 to 10 minutes. If the top is not as browned as you'd like, run the skillet under the broiler for 1 or 2 minutes. Serve immediately.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
5 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 (14-ounce) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup boiling water
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 1/2 cups grated Cheddar or Manchego cheese (from about a 6-ounce block)
