Corn and Black Bean Tortellini Salad is a simple recipe that kicks up the traditional salsa to a whole new level. It's loaded with beans, corn and veggies and tossed with a chile-lime salad dressing to create an absolutely craveworthy recipe that everyone will be raving about!

We are so excited to be partnering with our friends at BUSH’S® Beans to bring you a scrumptious simple recipe with BUSH’S® Black Beans!!!

I keep my pantry stocked with beans because they are so easy to incorporate into everyday meals. As a matter of fact, my daughter's favorite dinners of all time is a skillet with black beans. Having them on hand makes it so easy to toss together a great meal.

With summer rolling around we are already in fresh vegetable mode. I can't get enough salads right now. One of my favorite fresh combinations are corn and black bean salsa. I decided to take this classic favorite and transform it into a scrumptious potluck hero.

Every year we all find ourselves attending summer parties and potlucks. I know I always want to bring something everyone will love, because who doesn't want everyone fawning over their food? Am.I.Right?

My latest obsession is this corn and black bean tortellini salad. The star of the show are the exceptional black beans and grilled corn on the cob makes the perfect partner to this salad. It is a salad so I have loaded up with my favorite veggies and a simple chile-lime dressing to bring it all together and then I topped it with avocado, cheese, and cilantro.

You could use your own store bought chili-lime dressing but homemade is so easy. I mean who could say no? This salad is absolutely craveworthy!!!

Nothing says summer quite like a cook-out filled with grilled eats, sides, salads and beans. My perfect cookout menu includes burgers and dogs, my moms potato and macaroni salads, roasted corn and beans. I am so excited to be sharing recipes for our favorites with you this summer.

Have you ever tasted baked beans so smoky and rich that you could eat them for an entire meal? Well, these are the beans of your dreams! It all starts with a pound of bacon, veggies and the fixins for the best tasting smoky beans you have ever eaten.

Prepared in a slow cooker the recipe is as easy as soaking the beans overnight and then dumping all the ingredients into the slow cooker and letting them go all day (or night). The results are incredible. Deep rich molasses and brown sugar add to the body of the smokey, tender beans. The vinegar helps mellow out the sweetness so it is perfect. These beans are reminiscent of the beans you would enjoy at a smokehouse. Now you can have them at home.

Chad and I went nuts with these, as I mentioned I ate bowls of them on their own and Chad put them on everything you can imagine.

Broccoli and Cheese Quinoa Power Bites

Broccoli and Cheese Quinoa Power Bites are loaded with vegetables and healthy protein. Perfect for lunch and my daughter has loved them since she was 3. With this easy recipe you will be making them again and again.

Finding something healthy that my 6 year old will eat becomes increasingly difficult each week. I have found that cute, bite sized food is perfect for her. But, every day is different. She loves broccoli, kidney beans and rice. So, I am trying to venture out and create variations of her favorites that we will both love.

I love love love these Broccoli and Cheese Quinoa Bites. They are loaded with vegetables and healthy protein and are absolutely delicious. What's even better is that they freeze fabulously. I make a batch of these and freeze them. Then I can defrost them on the day I wish to serve them or pop them in the oven or microwave frozen.

So, what did Munchkin think of these??? She was sneaking them off the plate and running into the other room to eat them. A chorus of "mmmm's" trailing behind her. I think that's 2 thumbs up from her. I joined her in the perfectly popable lunch and devoured at least 6 of them in one sitting.

Zucchini, broccoli, white beans, egg whites and quinoa are the stars of these little power house bites. With added cheese for the perfect little toddler lunch or even a fabulous bite sized appetizer for your next girls brunch these are in my permanent toddler lunch rotation and I am sure they will be in yours too!

5-Ingredient Easy Chili

5-Ingredient Easy Chili Recipe is the perfect comforting meal for pantry cooking. It uses just 5 ingredients most people have on hand (in their pantry). Truly one of our favorite chili recipes ever.

One of my favorite cooking methods is working with what I have on hand and finding inspiration in my pantry.

Actually pantry cooking has resulted in some of the most delicious recipes I have ever created and this was one of them.

I injured my knee at the beginning of January and I was laid up on the couch for a week. I only had Chad running to the store for staples (like milk and bread).

After about a week of fast food and dry cereal, I decided I had enough and I was going to cook something, so I grabbed some cooked ground beef out of the freezer and headed for the pantry to find some dinner inspiration.

I keep my pantry pretty well stocked for occasions exactly like this.

After surveying the pantry the beans caught my eye and I decided I would whip up a chili.

Beef, beans, tomatoes, jalapenos and some crushed red pepper. Just a few minutes later I had the most scrumptious chili.

I still can't believe how delicious it was. So, I tried the recipe again and again. Feeding it to friends and family.

Everyone raved about it and no one believed it was so quick to make.

Eventually, I settled on fresh ground beef because you don't always have cooked ground beef on hand, but if you have it cooked already you can whip this up this fabulous recipe in just about 7 minutes.

Good pantry cooking really comes down to choosing your ingredients well.

Fire-roasted tomatoes and chili beans give this chili an incredible slow-cooked flavor and the peppers give it a little kick (not too much). Your friends and family will never believe you whipped this up in just 15 minutes.

Speaking of simple recipes, of course our new cookbook {The Simple Kitchen - available to order now}is packed with delicious, easy recipes.

Smoked Baked Beans + Video

Smoked baked beans is the first of our smoker recipes! These tender beans with bacon are the perfect side dish! Make this recipe using any smoker.

These smoked bbq beans are one of our favorite summer side dishes. But, summer parties are the perfect time to bring along a variety of dishes.

Have you had a chance to try our Corn and Black Bean Tortellini Salad? It's a simple recipe that kicks up the traditional salsa to a whole new level.

Or, you might want to try these Italian Style Crockpot Beans. The flavor is absolutely incredible.

Have you had a chance to try any of my other smoker recipes? These smoked chicken quarters are juicy and tender on the inside with crispy skin on the outside. Make this smoker recipe using any type of smoker!

How to Make Smoked Baked Beans

After preheating your smoker and choosing your favorite wood, you simply combine the ingredients in a pan. I prefer to use a cast iron pan.

But, you can also use a Dutch Oven if you want to. Or, if you are cooking for a crowd, you can use a disposable aluminum pan.

Place your pan in the smoker and cook for about three hours. You will stir every hour and cook until the sauce has thickened and the beans are cooked.

If you're new to smoker recipes, this smoked baked beans recipe is a simple dish to get started with.

How can I make this without a smoker?

This recipe can be prepared in a slow cooker but will not have that smoked flavor. Cook it on HIGH for 3 hours or LOW for 6 hours.

You can bake this recipe in the oven but it will not have that smoked flavor. Bake it at 400°F for 55-60 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Frequently asked questions

What beans are used in baked beans?

Baked beans are usually made from haricot beans. Another name for haricot beans is navy beans. You can find them either dried or in a can at the grocery store.

Can I use homemade baked beans?

This recipe starts with two cans of already prepared baked beans. If you would prefer to make baked beans from scratch, you can do that as well.

Just be careful what seasonings you use so that they do not overwhelm the smoke flavor.

How long does it take to smoke beans?

This smoked baked beans recipe takes about three hours to make in your smoker. You will need to check it every hour.

The exact time you need really depends on the type of smoker you have. The baked beans are done when the sauce has thickened and the beans are heated all the way through.

What type of bacon do I add to baked beans?

I prefer my bacon to be cooked but not crispy. To bake bacon: lay slices of bacon on a foil-lined baking pan.

Place the pan in the cold oven, turn the heat to 400°F and bake for 8-10 minutes.

The length of time will vary based on the thickness of your bacon (thick-cut takes longer). Chop up the cooked bacon and refrigerate until ready to use.

What you need to make Smoked Baked Beans

Smoker - I have love my pellet smoker (Traeger and Green Mountain Grills are both great)
half steam table pans
12-inch cast-iron skillet - Lodge is great for use on the smoker and widely available
Heat safe gloves - one of our favorite smoker tools
Drip buckets- to keep things mess-free and make for easy cleanup

What about leftovers?

We eat these so quickly that we very rarely have any leftovers to store. But, you can put them in the refrigerator for another day if you do.

Store your smoked baked beans in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 5-7 days. If you would prefer to freeze them, you can do that as well.

To freeze baked beans, let the beans come to room temperature. Then, transfer them to an airtight container.

They will keep for 2-3 months.

To reheat your baked beans, just heat them in a pan on the stove until they are warmed through.

Or, you can heat them in the microwave. They are just as delicious the following day as the first time.

Other baked bean recipes to make

These BBQ Baked Beans are a family favorite, with a recipe so easy it comes together in less than minutes.

Prep time: 5 Minutes Cook time: 3 HoursTotal time: 3 Hours & 5 Minutes

Ingredients

2 (28-ounce) cans Bush's original baked beans (or 4 (15.5-ounce) cans)
2 (14-ounce) cans kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup barbecue sauce (I used KC Masterpiece)
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1 (7-ounce) can fire-roasted diced chiles (I used Macayo’s)
1 cup A&W root beer
1 pound regular cut bacon, cooked and chopped (1/2-3/4” pieces)

Instructions

Preheat your smoker to 225°F. Choose your favorite wood, I am using my favorite blend of oak, maple and hickory on my pellet smoker.
Combine the ingredients in a cast iron pan or aluminum pan (I used a 9x12-half steam table pan), whatever you prefer to cook on your smoker with.
Place your pan on your smoker. Keep in mind the closer to the heat source, the faster they will cook. I like to keep my beans closer to the heat source when possible.
Smoke for 3 hours, gently stirring every hour, or until the sauce has thickened and the beans are heated through. If the sauce gets too thick, you can stir in some more root beer to thin it out.
