Recently, a customer (thank you Suzanne) sent me a recipe for cowboy beans. It was a recipe that I was very familiar with as a kid – which we called “Hamburger Beans”. It was often dinner, or served as a side dish during outdoor cookouts.
I took her suggestions, along with notes from my mother’s recipe from years back and came up with Buffalo Beans. It’s good-ole-fashioned, stick to your ribs food. A good hunger remover after a big day. Approved by Wild Idea’s Harvest Crew!

Thanks, Jill! I’ll probably use black & pinto beans. It sounds really yummy and a little different twist from traditional chili.
We’re doing great. Bill and I have had both of our COVID vaccines and are breathing a bit easier. Hope you and Dan are staying healthy & strong. Hoping to make a trip to the Black Hills later this year. Maybe we’ll stop in and see you again. Warm regards, Kathy
This was a big hit with my family! Subbed water for the coffee and it worked fine. Thanks, Jill!
Hi Kathy! Not OCD at all… I used black and butter beans, but any would do. Hope you are doing well! Thanks bunches. jill
I’m probably being a wee bit OCD but……what kind of beans do you use? :-)
Cindy – I would use a dark beer or water for a coffee substitute. Enjoy! jill
