Ingredients
1/2 Tbs oil
1 medium onion, chopped fine
1/2 bell pepper, chopped fine
16 oz can pinto or red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup wheat germ

with enough water to make a cup)

1 tsp chili powder (optional)
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp dried basil
6 buns
Instructions
Heat oil–saute onion and bell pepper 3-4 minutes. Add

Simmer, loosely covered, 5-7 minutes or til preferred
