Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Put beans into a pot with 2 cups cold water and bring to a boil.
  2. Once water is boiling, add oil, sazon packet, adobo, and bay leaf.
  3. Bring to a low boil for about 1 hour or until water just barely covers the beans. Check beans for tenderness.
  4. Add in bacon, onion, and green pepper and keep at a low boil for about 1/2 hour or until water is mostly absorbed.
  5. When water is mostly absorbed, check beans for tenderness. They should be soft when pierced with a fork, and there should still be liquid in the pot. If all the water is absorbed, pour in about a half cup more (just enough to keep it like a thick sauce).
  6. Once beans are tender and you've got a nice thick sauce in the pot, remove from heat.
  7. Add salt and pepper to taste.
