A simple recipe for beans without a zillion ingredients. Preparation time does not include the overnight soak. You can also use 4 cans of cooked beans to avoid the wait.
Ingredients:
1 lb dried kidney beans
1 teaspoon peanut oil
1 onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 lbs ground beef
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 tablespoon chili powder
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 small hot red pepper
Directions:
1. Soak beans overnight, then cook until tender, about 2 hours, or according to package directions. Drain.
2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet heat oil over medium heat and sauté onions and garlic until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the ground beef and cook until no longer pink; be sure to break up the meat into small pieces. Add tomato sauce, cloves, chili powder, salt and pepper, parsley, and the red pepper (leave whole).
3. Add beans and cook another 25 minutes, covered.
