Slow Cooker 7-Layer Creole Bean Dip

This spicy slow cooker bean dip comes from Louisiana girl at heart, Creole Contessa, and puts a new Louisiana twist on an old school favorite. First off, Creole seasoning, black pepper and garlic powder give the base layer of refried beans (made from cooked Camellia Brand Pinto Beans) a real kick that gets things going. Layers of sharp cheddar, pickled jalapenos, and Monterrey jack cheese take it up a notch. And then, Creole flavor goes over the top with layers of cooked spicy Andouille sausage and crispy bacon. Lastly, a generous helping of Mexican cheese blend melts over everything. But why stop there? This Slow Cooker 7-Layer Creole Bean Dip begs to be topped with chopped green onions, sour cream, and avocado. Oh, my. Add bowls of tortilla chips, and watch it get devoured.

Which is why we love these Red Bean & Rice Sliders — an inventive New Orleans take on the mini burger. They’re lovingly made by combining cooked trinity vegetables, cooked white or brown rice, cooked Camellia Brand Red Kidney Beans, whole wheat bread crumbs, and seasonings in a food processor. Then they’re formed into itty bitty patties and browned in a hot skillet. Served dressed on brioche rolls, these cuties make for a little bit of Creole heaven in an all-new, one-handed form.

Red Beans and Rice Boudin Balls

Red Beans and Rice Boudin Balls combine the best of all worlds — delicious ingredients, a snackable size, and oh yes, crispy fried goodness.

There are so many good reasons to make a big batch of hearty chili during the cooler months of fall. Football-watching parties, tailgating, block parties, family get-togethers, and potlucks — just to name a few. Chili is one-pot comfort food at its finest, feeds a crowd, and makes a great topping for everything from nachos and baked potatoes to pasta and hot dogs. When you bulk it up with healthy bean protein and offer lots of delicious toppings, chili is a complete meal in a bowl.

Our new chili recipes feature something for everyone: Beef & Black Bean Chili, White Bean & Chicken Chili, and 3-Bean Vegetarian Chili. The spice levels can be easily adjusted to suit your taste, there’s no need to cook the beans in advance, and we’ve got both stovetop and slow cooker versions of each recipe. Talk about easy entertaining! Oh, and don’t pass up our Loaded Nachos — a cheesy, must-have appetizer for any football gathering — made with a heaping helping of Beef & Black Bean Chili.

Beef & Black Bean Chili

This hearty chili is certain to become a game day favorite. Beef & Black Bean Chili calls for ground beef, but you can lighten things up by using sirloin or substituting ground turkey. With black beans and four different kinds of chilies — poblanos, jalapeno, chipotle powder, and fire-roasted green chilies — there’s a depth of flavor that’ll keep folks coming back for more. (Don’t be alarmed if you haven’t tried these chilies before. Just taste as you go to get the level of heat you like.) On a scale of 1-5, the spice level of the recipe as it’s written is a 3. Top with shredded cheddar, sour cream, and chopped green onions, and enjoy.

White Bean & Chicken Chili

Smooth yet robust flavors come together in this creamy White Bean & Chicken Chili. Mild enough to please everyone but substantial enough to satisfy, this recipe features smoked Hatch chilies (you can substitute roasted poblano chilies), cannellini beans, chicken breasts or thighs, smoked paprika, and a combo of cornmeal and cream that adds a super-velvety finish at the end of cooking. Top with shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, and chopped fresh cilantro, and watch it get eaten up by all. On a scale of 1-5, the spice level of this recipe is a 2.

3-Bean Vegetarian Chili

Meat? They’ll never miss it. This 3-Bean Vegetarian Chili’s appealing flavor comes from smoked Hatch chilies (you can substitute roasted poblano chilies), a bottle of pale ale beer, red kidneys, cannellinis, black beans, and smoked paprika. The beer tends to add a warm maltiness, and the addition of extra olive oil at the end of cooking adds creaminess. Folks will want to dig in, for sure. On a scale of 1-5, the spice level in this chili is a 3.

So easy and so good! Simply top tortilla chips with Beef & Black Bean Chili and plenty of shredded cheese. Stick ’em under the broiler, and when the cheese is all melted and gooey, sprinkle generously with halved grape tomatoes, chopped cilantro, chopped green onions, and diced avocados. Add a few generous dollops of sour cream so that nachos can be pulled apart and dipped in for extra creamy flavor. But watch out — before you know it, they’ll be gobbled up, and you’ll be making another batch.
