Tanner's Black Beans
Ingredients:
- 1 Red Onion, Diced
- 1 Bell Pepper, seeded and diced
- 6 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
- Olive oil
- 8 Cups water
- 1 lbs. dry black or kidney beans
- 4 bay leaves
- 1 heaping tsp cumin
- 1 tsp oregano
- Garlic salt
- Pepper
Directions:
Add red onion, bell pepper, garlic, and olive oil (not be stingy) to pot on medium-high heat and Sauté.
Once onions are soft, add remaining ingredients.
Bring to boil.
Once boil has been reached, lower to a simmer.
Simmer for 60-90 mins, stirring occasionally, until thick.
Once water has been absorbed and is thick, remove bay leaves.
Serve over rice.
*Note: to add some meat, start step one with browning with onions, bell pepper, and garlic. Cubed Ham is a personal favorite of the family.
Enjoy!
