I like the 'snipped and saved' part. And why not? It's a really
simple recipe. As a rule, kidney beans are not my favorite, but for
this dish they're great. When I was a kid it was always made the way
I described over rice, but I live alone and am a one dish person who
cooks and eats the same food for 6 straight days. If it's good I
don't mind a bit. I do the same with cold veggies prepped in the
fridge for pasta salad, etc. Anyway, yes you can add veggies. I
sometimes put some spinach in there. Not in the pot, but when I
reheat the beans and meat. I add a bit of water and then some cut up
spinach and nuke it to hot. Or if you're against the micro you can
always use a small pot. But yes it's not a sacred dish and you hereby
have my permission to do anything you wish with it. Oh, yeah, already
cooked green beans are also not bad added to the dish. I printed the
recipe not because I thought everyone would think it's great, but
because it's truly simple and my experience is that simple foods are
usually the best. Thanks.
