Leftover black beans

This was the original recipe: https://www.pressurecookrecipes.com/instant-pot-black-beans/

And yesterday they were served with rice, guac, chips, cheese, salsa but a friend brought over lots of pizza so not as much was eaten as anticipated. Want to avoid dairy because everyone ate a lot yesterday.

You can of course freeze and use them later.

Beans and rice?

I'd suggest my son's favorite soup (no precise recipe, but like a chowder made with canned whole kernel and creamed corn, chicken stock, onions, garlic, whatever peppers I have, ground chile, cumin, grated cheese, sour cream or plain yogurt, and black beans--all started when I accidentally had some cans of creamed corn)

Agree. I will cook up a bag and freeze the cooked beans and use them on demand like bags of frozen green peas.

I'd just eat them for breakfast all week.

If you're sick of beans you could freeze them and bring them out next week for more beans or dump into a chili recipe.
