Black Beans - The Quick Tasty Version

Ingredients

•  1 small can of black beans (goya is good)
• 2 slices of bacon finely chopped 
• 1 small onion
• 2 cloves of garlic (minced)
• Salt & Pepper

Preparation

1. In a small sauce pan on high heat add the chopped bacon and cook for about 3 minutes
2. Add the onions and let them become transluscent
3. Add the garlic and cook another minute
4. Add the whole can of beans and season with salt and pepper to taste
5. Lower heat to simmer and cover the pan letting it cook for about 8 to 10 minutes.  Beans will bubble a little bit.  Keep a watch to make sure it's not burning

Experience

Whenever I want black beans and I don't want to cook them from scratch or make feijoada I like to use the bacon and the bacon fat to give it that taste I'm looking for.  Definitely do this if you are looking for a better taste than the regular bland taste of canned beans. Serve over rice!
