Beans are the greatest.

Here's the red beans and rice people pass around on these forums all the time and I can confirm it's great, although I no longer follow the recipe precisely, I make the vegetarian version, and I leave out the non-vegan stuff. In any case it's great.

A few years ago I had a really good chickpea salad with little pieces of pepper and onion and maybe there was some herb and a citrus element. It had a nice but indistinct dressing and the beans were nice and creamy. It was part of an airplane meal, ironically. Anybody have a favorite chickpea salad recipe?
These are tasty:

I haven't made this, but it looks good:

Over the holidays, my dad gave me a chili mix - a bag of rear end Kickin' Chili Fixins. Beans are a mix of black and pinto beans. I soaked them overnight and now I've got them simmering so I can have chili tonight. I'm a little excited because I've never really done anything other than canned chili and I've never cooked beans like this before.

I mean, I know as a general rule going from scratch is usually best, but hey, I'm not turning down free spicy chili.


Update: Everything is simmering now. So far, not a whole lot of flavor... It needs more of "everything". It comes with powdered habanero, which I left out because my wife doesn't care for super spicy things like I do. I'll add some to my own bowls, along with some ghost pepper sauce and sliced jalapenos to bring the heat up to an adequate level.

Update 2: Still bland af. Added some of the powdered habanero, and then a healthy portion of liquid smoke, garlic, chili, and onion powders, and cumin. That seemed to give it a little more flavor.
Did you add any salt?

Usually to make something taste good the trick is to add more salt.
