Perfectly Prepping Your Veggies and Beans

For even, bite-sized pieces and lightning-fast prep, use the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper to dice onions, peppers, and carrots with ease. Opt for a combination of canned beans—like black beans, kidney beans, and chickpeas—for a beautiful medley of textures and flavors. Always rinse your beans well to prevent excess sodium and a muddy taste.

How to Simmer the Ultimate One-Pot Bean Wonder

Choose a large nonstick vessel such as the SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch or a sturdy Dutch oven. Sauté the veggies until fragrant, add your spices, then pour in diced tomatoes and beans. Simmer everything together—no need for constant stirring.
