What timing to check the forum and see this...I just made my "skillet beans" for lunch and waiting for it to cool. This is a great TD recipe and I love it at home as well. My version:
In a small non-stick pan, with a tsp. of olive oil (or other)
cook 3 slices of prepackaged polenta (or homemade ahead of time) over medium heat for about 7-8 minutes per side (i like my polenta with a tiny bit of crisp). Then add about 1/2 can of drained black beans and about 1/2 cup of frozen corn and 3 or 4 large spoonfuls of salsa (hot or mild to suit your taste). Let simmer on low for about 5 minutes to heat everything up, then toss on some shredded cheese for a couple more minutes, and viola, delicious single-skillet beans. Note- this is for a single-serving version...Its pretty easy to eyeball all the ingredients to get the amount of food you need. Wipe pan out with paper towel while warm and you're good to go. Of course add chiles, tabasco, sour cream, etc as you like! Enjoy!
Gotta go eat.
