My mom was born in New Mexico, my grandma grew up there. Even after moving to California they made versions of these beans - always with ground beef, pintos, canned tomatoes, green chiles, oregano, and cumin. I think that is what makes the recipe New Mexico. We always had cornbread (not sweet!) with it. Thank you for the recipe.
You were my inspiration! It's been life changing! Because of you (and Anna from Fermented Homestead) I can a pound of beans almost weekly. Let's say at least 3x a month. You did a video a while ago reworking a recipe someone sent you. I think it was beef and bean burrito in a jar. It included rice!! It was decidedly not a safe recipe, and your friend challenged you to make it safe. Which you did beautifully. I was entranced watching that video. My mind was racing with ideas! I immediately got to work. The next day, using a tested safe recipe and your inspiration I canned what I call EBT Red Beans & Rice! EBT meaning Everything But The "rice." 😁 I made a Creole seasoned stock and swapped the dry spices for classic Creole spices. The right stock and the right seasonings make all the difference. I will be adding New Mexico style pinto beans to my EBT collection! So Thank You!
I was going to ask about using red beans and doing a red beans and rice with the ground beef meal starter. My hubs loves RB&R but always uses the Zatarains-I know terrible due to all the sodium and other crap ingredients. But doing this right here will put that to shame! What seasoning recipe do you use for a creole seasoning blend @julianaminium1199? Thanks everyone ❤
Thank you Lisa . I have enjoyed your videos .Yes I use black bean and Kidney bean and taco meat for a taco bake with a cornbread topping for tonight meal. My canning has been a life saver. My Husband had cancer and I need easy food to make .He passed away June 2 2024 and I started my cancer Journey June 4 2024 and on the road to recovery, I really enjoy all the canner in this collaboration
Leisa, thank you so much and all those who participated in 2025 Canuary. This is my first Canuary and I have really enjoyed all the videos and recipes! I appreciate all the safety tips given. Thanks to all again!
So, I just looked up the company you recommended. Is this a bulk bean place? Would love to know why you like this company. Their website looks fabulous but I have questions about them. Are the beans flavorful? Fresh? Grown by them? If you have a moment to talk about it that would be fabulous. I realize I could call them but a personal recommendation goes further in my book. Thank you!
@@rebeccabeavers897 They certainly are more pricey than the normal grocery store. But, their beans are less than a year old which helps them cook much better (not as tough or hard). They also support a number of Mexican and other country small farmers. Professional chef's normally order from Rancho Gordo. Fantastic customer service as well. They have the 'normal' beans as well as some more rare like the Marcella etc...
Hi Leisa! We don't eat beans, but this is a good inspiration for a meal in a jor for me. I've very much enjoyed all the videos this year! Crossing fingers for the drawing tomorrow...
Our household eats beans every week. It's an affordable protein, versatile, and stores well on the shelf. 😭 The saddest part of the month is when Canuary ends. These videos have been the best and most entertaining. Best of luck to everyone out there in this community on winning prizes!!! 🎉 ❤ Thank you, Leisa and ForJars. 😊 p.s. The cats are stealing the show. 😉
NOOOOOO, IT CAN'T BE THE END OF CANUARY IT JUST FLEW RIGHT BY WITH SO MANY GREAT CHANNELS WHO PARTICIPATED WITH SO MANY AWESOME RECIPES. THANK YOU, LEISA, AND FORJARS FOR HOSTING AND SPONSORING CANUARY AGAIN THIS YEAR. THANK YOU FOR ANOTHER GREAT RECIPE THAT WILL BE PERFECT FOR MY PANTRY.
Oh Leisa, you don't know how much I appreciate you, and all the others who have contributed to Canuary! I love you did this recipe as I'm new to beans!
I really can't thank everyone enough. This is my 3rd year participating and can't wait to get busy. Year one I watched. Year 2 I started making recipes my family would like. This year came to a quick halt do to an accident at work and a shoulder surgery 12 days ago. I was upset but now thanks to everyone's wonderful recipes and great instructions I can't wait to get the all clear from my doctor sometime in April. The awesome part this year has been collecting these recipes and sitting with the family to map out what we want and how much we can grow ourselves to get them made for next fall. Thank you all once again for reminding us that we can do it.❤❤❤❤
Oh, Leisa! Say it isn't so! My 1st Canuary can't be over!😢 Have learned so much. And made a to do list of so many of your and the collaborators recipes. I include beans in my meals alot. Today's recipe is a great starter for so many things I cook. Just can't stop thinking about all the deliciousness that will be filling my pantry shelves. Where once there was just an avid dehydrator, thanks to Darcy! There is now a serious prepper and future canning convert. Thanks to you Leisa! Your Canuary 2025 sponsorship along with ForJars has absolutely started my year off right. Am filled with the encouragement and tools to hit the ground running. Well, quick walking anyway. (I am 73.) The best thing is my daughter and a couple grands are interested in learning along side of me! Nothing can top that!
Oh WOW! I too find it hard to believe this years Canuary is almost done. I have had so much fun learning all of the different recipes that all of you dedicated canners posted for all of us.... is it almost Canuary 2026 yet?! Thank you all so much, and thank you Forjars for sponsoring along with Leisa.
I’m vegetarian, which makes some of the recipes impossible to really do. But I LOVE Canuary. It’s so motivational, and I have put up the most good I ever have. Thank you for hosting!
Thank you Leisa for sponsoring this event it's my first time watching the Canuary collaboration and I have learned a lot from you and all the other participants who volunteered their time and recipes they have presented. There's a lot of those recipes that I am looking forward to try. I love your presentation on these New Mexico beans and will be trying this one out as well. So thank you again and thanks to Forjars for sponsoring this event along with you.
Back when I got married in 79, we went to visit my husband's Mexican friends in Texas. Lucy taught me how to make tortillas from flour. These beans would be great to have with them. I usually eat my beans separately from the beans. Great idea. It saves time. Thankyou.
I am so happy I have been following the Canuary videos. Such a diverse array of recipes. Some of which might get me to eat a few more beans! Each person offered their best tips for making home canning as simple and safe as possible. Thank you ,Leisa, for creating this collaboration and to everyone who provided a video for it. I hope many others are as inspired as I am to get those jars out of storage and get to work.
I LOVE beans!!! Actually have nearly 50 varieties of dried beans. As you may have guessed, I try to eat a bit of them daily.....They are sooo good!! Thank you Leisa for this collaboration. The variety of canning projects are amazing and leaves me with a lot of canning plans. Appreciate you and all who have participated.
No, say it isn’t so! How is this the end of my very first Canuary?!? Well, I have enjoyed myself more than I imagined I could. I took notes, I printed things out, I watched several videos multiple times. I learned a lot and gained confidence. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you’ve done for all of us out here. I adore beans of all kinds and have been trying to get my family on board and I think this meal prep just might be a winner. I like that it’s got some beef but not a lot and could make a great intro into beans and rice as more of a staple item. I appreciate you! Thanks again 😊❤😊
Leisa, SOOOOOOOO HAPPY for another meal in a jar!! This looks fantastic! I like the addition of the ground beef…. DOUBLE protein! I’m actually happy that you had a failure. Not that I wanted you to per se, but when you did the “tap test” and allowed us to HEAR the failure compared to the good jars I think that was actually VALUABLE INFORMATION!!! Most experienced canners more than likely know that failures have a different sound than properly sealed jars, but not everyone in your viewing audience does. I’m sad to see CANUARY coming to an end, but all of you collaborators have worked so hard to bring this to us…. So a well deserved rest! Now it’s our turn to go forth with your knowledge and do you and our pantries proud! Thank you Leisa…. ForJars… ALL collaborators…. Looking forward to filling jars! 🫙 HAPPY CANUARY Y’ALL!! 🫙 ❤😊
We enjoy meat and beans with rice. I make what I like to call cowboy beans (also called calico beans) but it makes a lot. I am going to try this using the 3 different beans instead of just the pinto beans and use as a starter.
Every time my husband says something to me about the food I tell him “Stack it to the Rafters”! We love beans & meat canned together!Thanks again for another good one! I love “Canuary “!It’s been a great one this year, but it always is!!!
Definitely doing this! My wife isn't a big bean person, but I eat them 3-4 times a week. My favorite lunch/dinner is pork & beans on toast! A little ketchup and hot sauce on there....yum!!!
I can't believe Canuary 2025 is over. It was great watching the variety of foods canned and the possibilities of things to can. Beans are a staple in our family,so l can them often.Thank you, Leisa, for putting this collaboration together😊.
I was born in NM and will certainly try this recipe. When I don’t have the time to make a pot for dinner, I’d rather reach for a home canned product instead of a can from the store. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Thank you for organizing Canuary and for co-sponsoring with For Jars. I enjoyed learning from all presenters during this collaboration! 😁
Thank you Leisa and all the channels who participated in Canuary along with Forjars. Besides the information, ideas and smiles reading the comments shared by folks from near and far and realize how important putting food up for our families is. I am Blessed by everyone ❤️ as you say Leisa, stack it to the rafters!
This has been a wonderful month, thanks to you and ForJars! I try to get more beans in our meals, but my guy is not a big fan. These are definitely on my now, much longer list of to do. I already have a huge bag of beans. So many great recipes and everyone did such a great job!
we are not a beans family but I love beans and anything Mexican. Thank you Leisa, ForJars, and all collaborators. I cannot believe January is over. It went to fast.
I'm definitely in the, "Oh, I forgot to soak my beans!" category! 😆 The pint and a half size are my FAVORITE! Couple years ago, I found them at a local store for 7 or 8 bucks a piece. I didn't want to be "THAT" person and but them all, so I bought a bunch, then waited a week, went back and bought some more. A few days later, they were still there, so I bought the rest! Lol I gave everyone a chance! Haha 😂 We use beans in several recipies, but not so muchnas a side, unless it's with tacos. Thank you, Leisa, for hosting Canuary again this year!
Thank you for doing Canuary every year. I’ve learned so much from every one each year. You as well as the others have taught me how to can and build my pantry. It has saved me hundreds of dollars over the last seven years. ❤ to all who participated.
Thank you Leisa for a fun and informative month of Canuary. This is my first time joining in and I have enjoyed it immensely. I’d like to thank each and every person who contributed recipes this month and to For Jars for their sponsorship.
Been talking about canning for a while now and been watching canning videos like crazy. Watching Canuary videos learning everything I can has given me more confidence to do my first canning soon. My mother will finally be happy when I do cause she has likely given up waiting on me, since she’s been ready for me to start. It’s been more of a confidence thing for me, having never done it before, but boy is she going to be surprised! I’ve been making a list of supplies I need and I’m going to watch Canuary live tonight and I’m just gonna go for it! 😂 I’m so excited, I can’t wait! Lisa, you just don’t know how much this Canuary campaign is just what some people like me needed. I now feel I have the knowledge and the Confidence to get on this canning journey which I believe is more important to get started now rather than later. See you and everyone else tonight!!🤗🤗🥰
I grew up on Pinto beans cooked in a pressure cooker, I mean everyday!!!! I don't think Mom ever canned beans though. She probably didn't know it could be done. Thanks so much for hosting Canuary, I have gotten many good ideas for winter canning!
I just canned ground beef yesterday. Tomorrow I am canning beans. I wish I had waited one day. Next time I will definitely make them this way. What a great way to combine meat and beans. Thanks, Lisa.
Leisa, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I was so fortunate to have found you when I started my canning experience in 2020. My canning could have gone in such a bad direction had I listened to some out there that do not follow safe practices. I appreciate the time you take in doing all your videos and doing Canuary. Thank you again.
We usually have black beans weekly. However I have a 5lb bag of pinto beans and this recipe will help me get through them. Thank you for putting this collaboration together. The recipes and tips are invaluable. I am a visual learner and love the videos.
Canuary 2025 has been great - thanks! I love beans more than they love me, but I still incorporate them into my menu plans about 3 times a month. I find that black beans are easiest to digest for us, so if I can this recipe that's what I'll use. Appreciate you and ForJars as well as all the others who put out videos! Great job everyone!
We have a mixed household...some of us love beans and some hate them! So I compromise by canning beans in small quantities and I use them when the bean haters are not around. 😂 This canuary has been so great! Thank you for putting it all together and thanks to all the collaborators for participating. I look forward to it every year!
I want to say THANK YOU For taking time to do this especially after having your surgery you have taught so many of us so many valuable thingss. I'm 60 years old and never had anyone teach me about doing any of the ways to can and stock our pantries. I don't know why because it sure would have kept us from going hungry. Maybe their mom's and grandma wasn't there anymore i don't know . My last grandma (Mammo) passed when i was 10 yrs old.. So again i want to say thank you for showing us how to take care of ourselves and our families. I hope you have a wonderful Weekend and enjoy yourself rest and relax read a book or just lounge around take a long ride just you and Phil and look at all the beautiful things around you. 💛🫂💝🕊️🏡🐦🐣🌻🪻🌷🌼🌳☃️❄️🐖🐐🐑🦉🦃🐓🐈🐕🌽🧅🥕🍅🌶️🍉🍓🥒🥦🧄🍆🍎🍈🫚🫑🫛🕯️💙💚
I am a household that don't use beans. I really do enjoy your videos and I wanted to tell you I love your counter top. I wish I had wood counter top. You are a great teacher also.
We eat beans several times a week! We love beans every way possible. Thank you for demonstrating the sound difference between sealed and unsealed. Chicken broth, instead of water, is amazing, too. Thank you for your videos and the hard work you've put into into this collaboration! I think it's the best one ever!
This canuary has been awesome and I hate to see it end. We have so many great new recipes to try. Beans are a favorite of mine, i just canned up kidney beans. I have pintos to can, I'm glad i waited so i can try this recipe. Thank you Leisa. 😊 thanks to all who participated, and to forjars and Leisa for sponsoring this collaboration.
We are bean eaters in all forms, soups, sides, salad, chili. I can’t wait to can up New Mexico style pinto beans. Looks so delicious! Thank you for bringing the world Canuary so many wonderful Canners and recipes. ❤️
Still not a big fan of beans but I love NM style beans. My mom's always had hatch green chili's in it. I have some powdered might have to try this. Thank you for hosting this collaboration and thanks to all the bestie that helped you.
We are one of those households that uses dried beans on a regular basis. Hubbies favorite is a bowl of pinto beans topped with onions add a side of homemade cornbread.
Thanks for hosting Canuary collaboration 2025. A lot of work behind the scenes is evident in all the wonderful videos that Collaborators shared. Thanks for sponsoring this collaboration, Forjars.
I have beans no less than twice a week I am no meat chicken fish person I always have been very Sadler I missed the month of canning family brother in law of 53 years having health issues but I will watch all of it before summer I grew up always cabbing thank you for this great idea everyone else eats beef chicken so I am always looking for things being oldest in my family I am showing other family members how blessings
I just added this to my meal in a jar list. This Canuary collaboration has been awesome. Thank you Leisa and Forjars for a great opportunity to get more jars on my pantry shelf.
First sight of the jars was an eeeeee...and then a mindblowing moment of learning they are out there for purchase. Oh, Leisa, you always make me so happy.
I love beans fixed in various ways. We have them about once a week. This is a new recipe for me to try. I have loved all the canning demos in this collaboration. Thank you for all the work you do!
Thank you Leisa for hosting Canuary once again. I always look forward to Canuary and getting new safe canning recipes. This pinto bean recipe is one that I will definitely make.
Absolutely a beans and rice, rice and beans family. We started because we were broke. Now we are because we like them and the health benefits. Thank you for explaining par cooking 😊😊😊
Thank you Leisa for sharing this video & for being one of the sponsors for Canuary . I really appreciate what you are doing for us. Sad to see Canuary come to an end , but excited for tomorrow night. Good Luck everyone .
Bits and pieces are important! I like that size jar for chili, beans, etc too. Love your assistant hanging around. Love super simple! My spouse doesn't like beans that much so it's not a regular part of my cooking. Thank you for the great collaboration this month Leisa. Much appreciated.
I appreciate you and for Jars for sponsoring this collaboration. I appreciate all you ladies who have taken your time to film and edit videos to show me some new recipes and ideas. It has been great I have loved all the recipes!
Beans are a regular item at our house. We really like them, and they are protein too. Leisa, thank you so much for all your efforts in putting together and sponsoring Canuary every January and also I thank ForJars as well. This has been the best Canuary yet! I have been inspired, entertained and learned some new things too!!
We eat beans at least once a week. My youngest even loves kidney beans. Thank you for this Canuary collaboration! It's my very first Canuary and I have truly enjoyed every video. I've learned a ton!
Wow. What a great way to end the collaboration. I grew up eating beans. (A Texas girl now living in Alaska) and I don't understand people who won't even trying them. They don't know what they are missing. Thanks for all that you do and for putting this together every year.
That recipe looks good. I am more of an ingredient canner but have a few exceptions like beef stew. One thing I would tell you about whether we eat beans is that I used them in a regular rotation for chili, refried beans, etc. However, I made quarts of ranch beans from Lori of Whipperwill Holler. Her ranch beans are so excellent that I cannot keep them on my shelf. Lisa... You have to try these. I am not alone when I say that these are the best beans that I have ever had. Trust me.. I'm a Mom!
Thank you so much Leisa for Canuary! This is my first year participating and I'm amazed at all I learned. I've been canning since 2021 but still have so much to learn. I grew up in a home where my mom feared canning because of a canning accident (explosion) in her youth so it took me a lifetime to overcome my learned fear. Canuary gives me confidence in my canning skills.
I love canning beans. I grew up with my mom making a huge pot of beans ever few weeks and putting them in the freezer. We ate beans everday. I wish I could show my mom how my beans come out canning. She passed 2 years ago tomorrow. What a coincidence this video came out tonight and I thought of her cooking. ❤❤❤
This Canuary went way too fast!! I have really enjoyed watching ALL the videos & getting some wonderful ideas to put on my shelves. Thank you Leisa & Forjars for sponsoring all the collaborations through the years. ❤❤😊
Hello Leisa!!! I can't believe this is the last day, video, and recipe for Canuary 2025. Boy, this time together just flew by but that's to be expected when learning & doing what we love to do!! I'm so excited for the Grand Finale tomorrow night & I personally want to wish everyone the very best on winning and to the chosen winners...Congratulations!!!! 😂😊😀As we all know, most things come to an end; however, having the desire to learn and sharing that knowledge with others makes lasting memories that last forever. So, with that said THANK YOU to the Channel participants, Leisa and ForJars for sponsoring this fun-filled, learning event of Canuary 2025 and I pray for a Canuary 2026 to do this again!! 🙂
Leisa, thank you for sponsoring Canuary along with ForJars. I got brave and started pressure canning about 2 1/2 years ago. We eat a lot of beans and canning them taste so much better than store brands. I appreciate you and the others for practicing safe canning and tested recipes.
I love beans. We eat them at least twice each week. I haven’t enjoyed two of the bean recipes that I canned in the past. I’m going to try yours. It’s simpler. Thanks.
Bean loving vegetarian here in New Mexico, was raised in Ky though, so we alternate serving our pintos between mashed potatoes and fritos and burritos. Appreciate all the educational info, at my altitude (7,000 feet) we have alot of evaporation in cooking and have to esp watch out for the water level, etc.❤
I don't eat rice for health reasons. But my brother loves rice and beans. I see some Christmas gifts for him. Never thought of this. I have already saved your recipe. Thank you. Was a great collaboration this year.
January oops I mean Canuary is my favorite month. I get so many good ideas watching all the videos. I always add new canning projects to my already long list. Thank you to all the participants in this year Canuary 2025. Also a big thank you to Leisa and Forjars. This has been amazing.
LEISA, I'm so glad I participated with Canuary 2025 because I have learned so much about canning meal starters and especially your beans. I love red beans and rice which you mentioned by saying we could use whatever beans we want. Thanks also to Forjars as collab. They make the greatest lids! Thank you tons.

I’m going to look for this post
That's fantastic! I'm so glad you're inspired to can more beans!

OMG I'm a bean freak. I love to can my beans! I get a quarterly shipment from Rancho Gordo. Bean haul's are an amazing time. Thank you Leisa.
So, I just looked up the company you recommended. Is this a bulk bean place? Would love to know why you like this company. Their website looks fabulous but I have questions about them.

My daughter is vegan, I’m guessing there are no tested recipes for “vegan” meat?
Correct
Just leave out the meat
I wish there was@@JustASmallTownGirl1974
We need a company to investigate canning tvp and other meat substitute.
Love beans! New Mexico style even better! Thank you Leisa!

Thank you Leisa…. ForJars… ALL collaborators….
Looking forward to filling jars! 🫙
HAPPY CANUARY Y’ALL!! 🫙 ❤😊
Another good one to add to my ever growing list!!!
We enjoy meat and beans with rice. I make what I like to call cowboy beans (also called calico beans) but it makes a lot. I am going to try this using the 3 different beans instead of just the pinto beans and use as a starter.
Every time my husband says something to me about the food I tell him “Stack it to the Rafters”! We love beans & meat canned together!Thanks again for another good one! I love “Canuary “!It’s been a great one this year, but it always is!!!
Definitely doing this! My wife isn't a big bean person, but I eat them 3-4 times a week. My favorite lunch/dinner is pork & beans on toast! A little ketchup and hot sauce on there....yum!!!
This has been a fantastic Canuary!
I can't believe Canuary 2025 is over. It was great watching the variety of foods canned and the possibilities of things to can. Beans are a staple in our family,so l can them often.Thank you, Leisa, for putting this collaboration together😊.
Your videos are always full of great information - I learn something new every time. Thank You
I was born in NM and will certainly try this recipe. When I don’t have the time to make a pot for dinner, I’d rather reach for a home canned product instead of a can from the store. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Thank you for organizing Canuary and for co-sponsoring with For Jars. I enjoyed learning from all presenters during this collaboration! 😁
Thank you so much for all these different recipes you have been doing all month long. I want to try so many them.
Thank you Leisa and all the channels who participated in Canuary along with Forjars. Besides the information, ideas and smiles reading the comments shared by folks from near and far and realize how important putting food up for our families is. I am Blessed by everyone ❤️ as you say Leisa, stack it to the rafters!
This has been a wonderful month, thanks to you and ForJars! I try to get more beans in our meals, but my guy is not a big fan. These are definitely on my now, much longer list of to do. I already have a huge bag of beans. So many great recipes and everyone did such a great job!
I have watched the videos all month and felt confident enough to convince my older daughter to open her new steam canner and we made and canned salsa.
we are not a beans family but I love beans and anything Mexican. Thank you Leisa, ForJars, and all collaborators. I cannot believe January is over. It went to fast.
I'm definitely in the, "Oh, I forgot to soak my beans!" category! 😆
The pint and a half size are my FAVORITE! Couple years ago, I found them at a local store for 7 or 8 bucks a piece. I didn't want to be "THAT" person and but them all, so I bought a bunch, then waited a week, went back and bought some more. A few days later, they were still there, so I bought the rest! Lol I gave everyone a chance! Haha 😂
We use beans in several recipies, but not so muchnas a side, unless it's with tacos.
Thank you, Leisa, for hosting Canuary again this year!
I really want some of those jars!! LOL! Thank you for sharing this recipe. My husband is gonna like this as a meal starter for all kinds of things.
I like that you encourage folks to use what they have-- fresh or dry onions. Showing the pint and a half jars are fun!
I'm always trying to keep things simple!
Thank you for doing Canuary every year. I’ve learned so much from every one each year. You as well as the others have taught me how to can and build my pantry. It has saved me hundreds of dollars over the last seven years. ❤ to all who participated.
Thank you Leisa for a fun and informative month of Canuary. This is my first time joining in and I have enjoyed it immensely. I’d like to thank each and every person who contributed recipes this month and to For Jars for their sponsorship.
Been talking about canning for a while now and been watching canning videos like crazy. Watching Canuary videos learning everything I can has given me more confidence to do my first canning soon. My mother will finally be happy when I do cause she has likely given up waiting on me, since she’s been ready for me to start. It’s been more of a confidence thing for me, having never done it before, but boy is she going to be surprised! I’ve been making a list of supplies I need and I’m going to watch Canuary live tonight and I’m just gonna go for it! 😂 I’m so excited, I can’t wait! Lisa, you just don’t know how much this Canuary campaign is just what some people like me needed. I now feel I have the knowledge and the Confidence to get on this canning journey which I believe is more important to get started now rather than later. See you and everyone else tonight!!🤗🤗🥰
I grew up on Pinto beans cooked in a pressure cooker, I mean everyday!!!! I don't think Mom ever canned beans though. She probably didn't know it could be done. Thanks so much for hosting Canuary, I have gotten many good ideas for winter canning!
I just canned ground beef yesterday. Tomorrow I am canning beans. I wish I had waited one day. Next time I will definitely make them this way. What a great way to combine meat and beans. Thanks, Lisa.
Leisa, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I was so fortunate to have found you when I started my canning experience in 2020. My canning could have gone in such a bad direction had I listened to some out there that do not follow safe practices. I appreciate the time you take in doing all your videos and doing Canuary. Thank you again.
We usually have black beans weekly. However I have a 5lb bag of pinto beans and this recipe will help me get through them. Thank you for putting this collaboration together. The recipes and tips are invaluable. I am a visual learner and love the videos.
Canuary 2025 has been great - thanks! I love beans more than they love me, but I still incorporate them into my menu plans about 3 times a month. I find that black beans are easiest to digest for us, so if I can this recipe that's what I'll use. Appreciate you and ForJars as well as all the others who put out videos! Great job everyone!
We have a mixed household...some of us love beans and some hate them! So I compromise by canning beans in small quantities and I use them when the bean haters are not around. 😂 This canuary has been so great! Thank you for putting it all together and thanks to all the collaborators for participating. I look forward to it every year!
Haven't done premeals before, looks great.
Love having meal starters on the shelves. Really enjoyed Canuary 2025.
I want to say THANK YOU For taking time to do this especially after having your surgery you have taught so many of us so many valuable thingss. I'm 60 years old and never had anyone teach me about doing any of the ways to can and stock our pantries. I don't know why because it sure would have kept us from going hungry. Maybe their mom's and grandma wasn't there anymore i don't know . My last grandma (Mammo) passed when i was 10 yrs old.. So again i want to say thank you for showing us how to take care of ourselves and our families. I hope you have a wonderful Weekend and enjoy yourself rest and relax read a book or just lounge around take a long ride just you and Phil and look at all the beautiful things around you. 💛🫂💝🕊️🏡🐦🐣🌻🪻🌷🌼🌳☃️❄️🐖🐐🐑🦉🦃🐓🐈🐕🌽🧅🥕🍅🌶️🍉🍓🥒🥦🧄🍆🍎🍈🫚🫑🫛🕯️💙💚
I am a household that don't use beans. I really do enjoy your videos and I wanted to tell you I love your counter top. I wish I had wood counter top. You are a great teacher also.
Thank you so much for all you do! What an amazing month of learning. I have a long list now of things I want to can.
We eat beans several times a week! We love beans every way possible. Thank you for demonstrating the sound difference between sealed and unsealed. Chicken broth, instead of water, is amazing, too. Thank you for your videos and the hard work you've put into into this collaboration! I think it's the best one ever!
This canuary has been awesome and I hate to see it end. We have so many great new recipes to try. Beans are a favorite of mine, i just canned up kidney beans. I have pintos to can, I'm glad i waited so i can try this recipe. Thank you Leisa. 😊 thanks to all who participated, and to forjars and Leisa for sponsoring this collaboration.
I love beans, especially PINK beans
We are bean eaters in all forms, soups, sides, salad, chili. I can’t wait to can up New Mexico style pinto beans. Looks so delicious! Thank you for bringing the world Canuary so many wonderful Canners and recipes. ❤️
Still not a big fan of beans but I love NM style beans. My mom's always had hatch green chili's in it. I have some powdered might have to try this. Thank you for hosting this collaboration and thanks to all the bestie that helped you.
Nice meal starter. Simple and versatile. Thanks for sharing.
We are one of those households that uses dried beans on a regular basis. Hubbies favorite is a bowl of pinto beans topped with onions add a side of homemade cornbread.
Beans beans 🫘 we love beans! Hearty, healthy, and cheap. It's sad that Canuary flew by so fast😢 love your video and recipe. Have a blessed day
Thanks for hosting Canuary collaboration 2025. A lot of work behind the scenes is evident in all the wonderful videos that Collaborators shared. Thanks for sponsoring this collaboration, Forjars.
I have beans no less than twice a week I am no meat chicken fish person I always have been very Sadler I missed the month of canning family brother in law of 53 years having health issues but I will watch all of it before summer I grew up always cabbing thank you for this great idea everyone else eats beef chicken so I am always looking for things being oldest in my family I am showing other family members how blessings
This recipe is a yes for me. We eat beans frequently. Thank you for sharing and coordinating another successful Canuary.
I just added this to my meal in a jar list. This Canuary collaboration has been awesome. Thank you Leisa and Forjars for a great opportunity to get more jars on my pantry shelf.
What a great recipe. Thanks for Canuary.
First sight of the jars was an eeeeee...and then a mindblowing moment of learning they are out there for purchase. Oh, Leisa, you always make me so happy.
I love beans fixed in various ways. We have them about once a week. This is a new recipe for me to try. I have loved all the canning demos in this collaboration. Thank you for all the work you do!
Thank you Leisa for hosting Canuary once again. I always look forward to Canuary and getting new safe canning recipes. This pinto bean recipe is one that I will definitely make.
Absolutely a beans and rice, rice and beans family. We started because we were broke. Now we are because we like them and the health benefits. Thank you for explaining par cooking
😊😊😊
Thank you Leisa for sharing this video & for being one of the sponsors for Canuary . I really appreciate what you are doing for us. Sad to see Canuary come to an end , but excited for tomorrow night. Good Luck everyone .
What a great ending to Canuary recipes 2025. Thank you for hosting Canuary!
Bits and pieces are important! I like that size jar for chili, beans, etc too. Love your assistant hanging around. Love super simple! My spouse doesn't like beans that much so it's not a regular part of my cooking. Thank you for the great collaboration this month Leisa. Much appreciated.
Catching up quickly on the videos tonight! Tysm for putting this together. So fun!
I appreciate you and for Jars for sponsoring this collaboration. I appreciate all you ladies who have taken your time to film and edit videos to show me some new recipes and ideas. It has been great I have loved all the recipes!
Yay! I was hoping someone would do a pinto bean canning video. Thanks so much for sponsoring Canuary and to all the Canuarians who participated!
Beans are a regular item at our house. We really like them, and they are protein too. Leisa, thank you so much for all your efforts in putting together and sponsoring Canuary every January and also I thank ForJars as well. This has been the best Canuary yet! I have been inspired, entertained and learned some new things too!!
We eat beans at least once a week. My youngest even loves kidney beans. Thank you for this Canuary collaboration! It's my very first Canuary and I have truly enjoyed every video. I've learned a ton!
Wow. What a great way to end the collaboration. I grew up eating beans. (A Texas girl now living in Alaska) and I don't understand people who won't even trying them. They don't know what they are missing. Thanks for all that you do and for putting this together every year.
I love canning pinto beans. I’ve never added meat to them but will have to try this recipe! Thank you!
That recipe looks good. I am more of an ingredient canner but have a few exceptions like beef stew. One thing I would tell you about whether we eat beans is that I used them in a regular rotation for chili, refried beans, etc. However, I made quarts of ranch beans from Lori of Whipperwill Holler. Her ranch beans are so excellent that I cannot keep them on my shelf. Lisa... You have to try these. I am not alone when I say that these are the best beans that I have ever had. Trust me.. I'm a Mom!
Thank you so much Leisa for Canuary! This is my first year participating and I'm amazed at all I learned. I've been canning since 2021 but still have so much to learn. I grew up in a home where my mom feared canning because of a canning accident (explosion) in her youth so it took me a lifetime to overcome my learned fear. Canuary gives me confidence in my canning skills.
I have loved every video of Canuary 2025. Thank you so much!
I love canning beans. I grew up with my mom making a huge pot of beans ever few weeks and putting them in the freezer. We ate beans everday. I wish I could show my mom how my beans come out canning. She passed 2 years ago tomorrow. What a coincidence this video came out tonight and I thought of her cooking. ❤❤❤
This Canuary went way too fast!! I have really enjoyed watching ALL the videos & getting some wonderful ideas to put on my shelves. Thank you Leisa & Forjars for sponsoring all the collaborations through the years. ❤❤😊
Hello Leisa!!! I can't believe this is the last day, video, and recipe for Canuary 2025. Boy, this time together just flew by but that's to be expected when learning & doing what we love to do!! I'm so excited for the Grand Finale tomorrow night & I personally want to wish everyone the very best on winning and to the chosen winners...Congratulations!!!! 😂😊😀As we all know, most things come to an end; however, having the desire to learn and sharing that knowledge with others makes lasting memories that last forever. So, with that said THANK YOU to the Channel participants, Leisa and ForJars for sponsoring this fun-filled, learning event of Canuary 2025 and I pray for a Canuary 2026 to do this again!! 🙂
Awesomeness meal starter! Thanks!
Leisa, thank you for sponsoring Canuary along with ForJars. I got brave and started pressure canning about 2 1/2 years ago. We eat a lot of beans and canning them taste so much better than store brands. I appreciate you and the others for practicing safe canning and tested recipes.
OMG, those beans look so delicious. I want to thank all the canners that participated in Canuary. By the way, your kitties are precious 😊
I love beans. We eat them at least twice each week. I haven’t enjoyed two of the bean recipes that I canned in the past. I’m going to try yours. It’s simpler. Thanks.
Bean loving vegetarian here in New Mexico, was raised in Ky though, so we alternate serving our pintos between mashed potatoes and fritos and burritos. Appreciate all the educational info, at my altitude (7,000 feet) we have alot of evaporation in cooking and have to esp watch out for the water level, etc.❤
I don't eat rice for health reasons. But my brother loves rice and beans. I see some Christmas gifts for him. Never thought of this. I have already saved your recipe. Thank you. Was a great collaboration this year.
Awesome! Looking forward to this being the next meal I can. Thank you for sharing and all of your work and involvement in Canuary!!
This Canuary had been such a refreshing, motivational collaboration. Excitement building while waiting on the next video to fall.
What a good idea for easy peasy meal! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much for Canuary I have loved all the videos. Yippee for the pinto beans 🫘 😋
January oops I mean Canuary is my favorite month. I get so many good ideas watching all the videos. I always add new canning projects to my already long list. Thank you to all the participants in this year Canuary 2025. Also a big thank you to Leisa and Forjars. This has been amazing.
LEISA, I'm so glad I participated with Canuary 2025 because I have learned so much about canning meal starters and especially your beans. I love red beans and rice which you mentioned by saying we could use whatever beans we want. Thanks also to Forjars as collab. They make the greatest lids! Thank you tons.
Thank you, Leisa, for Canuary. I've had so much fun watching videos every day.
This sounds amazing! Would be great to take for lunch if you have access to a microwave. Thanks for all your hard work
