How to Cook a Can of Black Beans?

If you are going to cook a can of black beans, but you don’t know how to do it, you will find these steps really helpful.

• The first thing you’ll need to do is open the can and pour out the beans.
• Next, rinse and drain them in a colander so they will soak up some of the salt and be ready for cooking.
• The next step is to put them in a pot full of water with some tomato sauce, onion, garlic, cumin, chili powder, beef bouillon cubes or just plain beef bouillon powdered mix.
• You can also add green bell pepper to your recipe as well as cilantro without it being too overpowering.
• If you want more flavor then add some ketchup or hot sauce once they’re done cooking. After you have finished all of that, turn the stove on medium heat and let them simmer for about 2 or 3 hours.

Then you will have great black beans. Easy to make, no?
