Finally located a source for canned black soy beans and tried them in a burrito - LC tortilla, ground beef, sour cream, salsa and the beans - and was delighted with them. I sprinkled a few on top of chopped salad and it added to the taste as well as the protein. Put some into my bowl of chili, but am limited on any other uses for them. Has anyone tried making a dip? I tried to search this forum but got only outside links. How do you use canned black soy beans?

I make my baked beans using them. I have also made refried beans with them. I also put them in chili. However, probably the strangest but one of the best uses I found is to make a delightful l/c chocolate cake with them.

I like to dump a can of them into my pot of soup. And I make a good bbq bean with them, with lc bbq sauce, onion, garlic, some sweetener, lc ketchup, and let it simmer until thick. Great with burgers or hot dogs, or bbq brisket or sausage.
