The Secret Ingredient
Ingredients
- ●1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- ●1 1/2 cups diced ham
- ●8 cloves garlic, crushed
- ●1 teaspoon MAGGI Granulated Chicken Flavor Bouillon
- ●1 cup NESTLÉ® CARNATION® Evaporated Milk
- ●1/2 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
- ●1 bag (6 ounces) seasoned stuffing mix
- ●1 lime, sliced into wedges (optional)
Make It
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease 2-quart baking dish.
Step 2
Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add ham; cook, stirring occasionally, for about 6 minutes or until slightly golden. Reduce heat to low. Add garlic; cook for an additional 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Step 3
Dissolve bouillon in evaporated milk.
Step 4
Add beans, stuffing mix and bouillon-milk mixture. Gently stir to moisten. Spoon into prepared baking dish; cover with foil.
Step 5
Bake for 30 minutes or until heated through. Serve warm with a squeeze of lime, if desired.
If you’d like to add plantains to the stuffing you’ll need:
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 yellow plantains, diced into 1-inch cubes
FRY plantains in a large skillet in a single layer over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, for 3 to 5 minutes or until golden. Remove and place on paper towels to drain. May need to fry in 2 batches, adding more oil if necessary. Add plantains when you add the beans, stuffing mix and bouillon-milk mixture.
