Havana Beans

Description: I adapted this from "500 Fat Free Recipes". I make this a lot when I'm hungry and have no idea what to fix. I cook the rice while making the beans and then throw it all together.

Ingredients:

• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 bell pepper, seeded and chopped
• 2 tomatoes, chopped (or 1 can chopped tomatoes)
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cups canned black beans (not rinsed)
• cooking spray

Steps:

1. Spray a heavy pan with cooking spray.
2. Cook the onion, garlic, and pepper for about 3 minutes or until starting to get soft.
3. Add the tomatoes and pepper.
4. Cook and stir for 5 minutes.
5. Add the beans, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
6. Serve with rice.
