Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

Love the black beans served at Chili's? Try this copycat version, made with only 5 ingredients.

2 cans (15.5 ounce size) black beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Combine the beans, sugar, cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder in a saucepan over medium-low heat. cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
To serve like Chili's does, place the beans on a plate in the middle. Top with a grilled chicken breast and a serving of rice on the side. Add some picadillo and sprinkle with crushed tortilla chips.

If you're a fan of the menu at this American chain of restaurants which serves a variety of foods such as burgers, steaks, pasta, and seafood then you'll love this collection of copycat recipes.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

This was pretty good. don't know if it's like Chilis or not but it made a good and simple bean side dish

When I made this recipe, I was unsure whether of not to drain the black beans in the can. I decided to first not drain the beans and it was considerably too salty and the cumin was too strong! I tried the recipe again, drained the beans and used less cumin and the beans fell apart.
It says to rinse and drain the beans. If they "fell apart" you may have had the heat too high.
I think there's also a bit of fresh cilantro that's in the Chili's version.
