Test Kitchen Tips
  • Cooking spices in a bit of fat for a minute or two (known as blooming them) helps take off the raw edges and encourages flavors to meld. After draining meat, try cooking it with seasonings for a minute before adding other ingredients.
  • Make-ahead tip: Cook the beef and bean mixture a day or two in advance.
  • Sliced jalapenos or bell peppers, minced cilantro and/or chopped green onions can be added if you crave a bit more flavor and color that pops.
