Notes
A 19 oz (540 mL) can of black beans, drained and rinsed, yields 2 cups (500 mL) cooked beans. To cook up a batch of dry black beans, check out our website for more info!
Mix it up! Swap black beans with pinto beans. They're mild in flavour, super nutritious and a fun twist!
These hand pies are yummy at room temperature as well!
