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

Directions

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.

Oh maaaaa-aa-aan - THIS is an awesome recipe! Made it last night for dinner - definitely moves into the top 3 faves list! Couple'a switches - I kicked up the pepper to 1/2 tsp; made the bell pepper 1 red and 1 orange; made the onion a red one and shook in some really good curry powder and fresh dill. Served it over brown rice and couldn't believe how good this was! Thanks for posting this to RZ!

This turned out pretty tasty! I used a combination of red, yellow, and orange peppers that I already had chopped up, but I think it was around 1 cup, and about a can and a half of beans, though I did rinse them. I also added some red pepper flakes, chili powder, and cumin, because I wanted the extra flavor. Oh and I used a can of diced tomatoes instead of the fresh. I'll be making this again!

Very nice Saturday night supper! I did make one change, I added a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, about a quarter teaspoon, it added a nice zing. The recipe was quick and very easy to put together; we will definately make it again, thanks for sharing.

Talk about quick! It took me longer to select this recipe than to actually prepare it. I eat black beans frequently and until now never thought to add tomatoes. They add a nice flavor and bit of acidity to the dish. I added 1/2 teasppon of cumin to the beans because...well because I love cumin. Also, I used a red pepper because that's what I had on hand. This is a great low-effort high flavor dish. Thanks ladypit!
