See below for a giveaway from Bush’s Beans!

A couple weeks ago I shared a few pictures from a wonderful trip I had just returned from with Bush’s Beans. I am incredibly honored to be a part of this amazing team of bloggers, chefs, PR friends and of course… Bush’s Beans team members. We have a lot of fun together, work hard together, and honestly… when we are together I feel like I’m with family (the non-crazy, no drama kind of family!) I love spending time with everyone on the team and always leave feeling refreshed and inspired.

I made a short video of our experience in Montana at the beautiful Paws Up Resort. If you don’t have this destination on your bucket list, I highly recommend adding it. I’ve never felt so at peace in my life as I did when I sat out on the porch of our log home and listened to the sound of the calm, quiet stillness. I can’t wait to return someday.

Thanks to Bush’s Beans, Paws Up and the chefs who continue to inspire us Connie Gutterson and Jeffrey Saad. ˆI also want to thank my fellow blogging friends for their friendship… they are part of the reason the Bush’s Beans family is a great one: Sandy, Amy, Cheryl, Aggie, Katie, Laura and Tina.

I promise I’ll share some of the recipes we cooked in a future post. In the meantime, I want to give you the opportunity to win a great prize pack from Bush’s Beans!

    When the weather turns cool I like to cook a nice pork roast and serve it with Bush’s Original Baked Beans. My favorite thing is to put leftover chunks if the pork, seasoned with rosemary, garlic, salt and pepper, into the pot of beans for a quick comfort meal.

  2. Natalie says

    I love making chili with Bush’s Beans. And, Black Bean soup is good. And, just serving them with some BBQ. Actually, the list goes on and on. 🙂

  4. Ginny says

    Believe it or not, felafel. We try to eat meatless three times a week, though, so I cook with beans all the time (in fact, we’re having chorizo and pinto bean quesadillas for dinner tonight!).

    Ooooooh, this was fantastic!

    C) Oh, and why was he throwing salt on the floor?! I like it…..I’m just curious.

    I buy them for everything for everything that needs beans,… chili, taco salad, and just a good source of protein to add to a green salad for lunch. They are great!

  20. kimmers says

    I make so many bean based dishes for my 6 kids! It’s how we are surviving feeding the 4 teenagers!

    My favorite is probably grilled chicken and black beans served on a small tortilla w/ cheese, lettuce or fresh spinach, sour cream and grilled onions and sometimes grilled bell peppers.

    We also make lots of chilli and goulash. Seems like almost every meal involves bush’s beans and the black beans are our very favorite.

    I love to make Ceci (Garbanzo) Bean Salad. I make it every couple of weeks. It is light & delicious. I always feel good after I eat it. I also like black beans spiced with jalapeno & onion. I eat them with meats or by themselves. My 3rd would be kidney beans in chile.

  28. Les in NE says

    I make a taco soup using black, pinto, navy, and kidney beans–all from Bush’s. My family and friends love it.

    Someday I’ll get to Paw’s Up Resort. Beautiful, beautiful…

    I know this sounds horrible, but it was a favorite of my dad’s— beans and browned hamburger over mashed potatoes. Way back when I was in girls scouts we made beans and hamburger, but they served it on hamburger buns. I so wanted mine on mashed potatoes. Anyway, I can’t wait for the weather to turn colder, so I can make this dish. It is truly a stick to your ribs type of meal. Yum!

  32. BridgetSoup says

    Mmmm I love making bush beans in general but when you add some garlic, onion and brown sugar and bake for a while man do they get gooey and deep in flavor! Love them!!

  33. Katzpawz says

    My very favorite thing with Bush Beans is to caramelize onions, add a little Dijon mustard, some maple syrup and a big can of Bush’s Country Style Beans. That’s really YUMMY all by itself – but I really guild the lily by topping it with a big ham steak, covering it and simmering until all is hot and I just can’t stand to wait any longer! Good lord, I’m hungry now!

  39. Jennifer @ Mother Thyme says

    Looks like an amazing time! We love beans and I use them in so many recipes, especially in dishes like chili with Bush’s Beans! 🙂

  40. Foodiewife says

    Truly, I only buy Bush’s beans. What a great time you had, the video shows. We’re going to Montana in July, and I’m excited. Black Bean Soup is one of my favorite recipes that I make with Bush’s beans. Great giveaway, and that apron is so cute.

  41. Sue says

    What we are known for here in Rochester, NY are garbage plates which are red hots, potatoes and beans covered with hot sauce, onions and mustard. I prefer to use Bush’s beans when making garbage plates.

  42. Caroline H. says

    We love to use the Black Beans with a can of Rotel tomatoes, add some spices… and it’s a great side dish for turkey tacos! And once the weather gets cooler, of course a huge pot of chili!

  44. April was in CT now CA says

    I love making Cowboy Camp Beans! I got this recipe from my step-mom and it’s one of my favorites that has ground beef and some spices in it with a few cans of baked beans, Bush’s of course! It’s the only brand we eat.

  47. Kim B. says

    Taco Soup! I also LOVE Bush’s bbq beans alongside our tri-tip & grilled asparagus 🙂 GREAT giveaway & what a FABULOUS experience!

  58. Meg says

    Oh Bush’s beans. I LOVE THEM just the way they are 😀 But what makes them even better is when I eat them while camping 😀

  66. Babs says

    I use the black beans in veggie quesadillas, salsa and taco soup. I use many of the other types of beans for chili and baked beans. They are always good quality and reasonably priced.

  68. Lori H says

    I love to make a little side salad of corn, black beans, red pepper & a little Italian dressing. So good with tortilla chips!

  70. Z.Grimm says

    I dunno if this makes me weird, but I just like eating them by themselves as a snack. I buy the small cans and snack on them every so often, I think they’re the tastiest!

  73. Amy Tong says

    My favorite dish with Bush’s Beans is black beans with grilled corn and tomato salad! Healthy, refreshing and delicious.

  74. mary jane says

    I love to make a casserole with bush’s bean with hot dogs and bush’s beans, cheese and some shredded flour tortillas, lots of cheese and sometimes I saute some onions and some red peppers to throw into the casserole..Usually in a hurry to get this started I put the meal together the night before and it is ready to pop into the oven promptly for a great meal on cold winter days like we are having tonight..Would love to win the giveaway and love your blog…happy halloween..mary jane s from momanddad00@clear.net

  77. Stephanie says

    My bf’s mom used to make Peel’s Deals.. I think. They were hot dogs on toasted buns with a Bush Beans topping. SO GOOD!

  83. Sherri C says

    Mexican Lasagna is my favorite thing to cook with Bush’s Beans. Thanks for the opporunity to win this giveaway!

  85. Judy Hunzie says

    I like to use Bush’s Pinto Beans in burritos. Especially using left over grilled tri-tip and cheese. Bush’s Pinto Beans help make this a quick and easy dinner.

  86. Wenderly says

    There are sooooo many! But black bean turkey would have to be an all time fav! LOVE the video! Felt like I was there with all you lovelies!

  88. Kelly S. says

    In the fall/winter it’s chili, in the summer we like Bush’s baked beans with just about anything on the grill.

  89. Laura says

    I love to make black bean, corn and zucchini enchiladas.

    Btw – cute sweater! And fun video. Looks like you all had a great time, lots of smiles. That resort is definitely on my bucket list. I’ve already mapped out a road trip I want to take with the boys when they’re older starting in Jackson Hole and ending at Paws Up. 🙂

  92. Kim Weigand says

    I have many as we love all of Bush’s beans but recently made up a new which has now turned into a family favorite…Bush’s BBQ Bean Soup….yummy!!

  98. Whitney says

    Chili chili chili!! My family was calling it 7 bean chili but I think I’m up to 10 different kinds of beans now….whatever looks good goes in the pot. Of course, my dad, from Texas, doesn’t approve of my chili because it HAS beans but Dave and the boys disagree!!!

  101. Jeanne says

    I use Bush’s pinto beans for refried beans, black and light red kidney beans for chili. My husband likes the new Bush’s Grillin’ Beans with hot dogs and hamburgers
