If you like Baked Beans, you will LOVE this new and improved take on the traditional "baked beans." Instead of opening up a can of baked beans, dumping them on my plate and calling it "sexy," I decided to take a can of Kidney beans and Green Peppers and make the best summer creation yet!
Kidney Beans & Green Peppers
Ingredients
- 1 can Dark Red Kidney Beans (drain the top but not the entire can)
- Olive Oil
- 1/2 green pepper, diced
- 1/2 Onion, diced
- Crushed Red Pepper flakes
- Salt, Pepper
Dice your Onions and Green Peppers and saute in 2 Tablespoons of Olive Oil in a deep pan until they are tender. About 5-7 Minutes on med. heat, stirring frequently.
Then add in your Kidney beans (again, drain the top of them) and stir together. Add in your salt and Pepper, just a dash on the top and add in 3-4 shakes of crushed red pepper. Close the lid and let this simmer together for about 10-12 minutes. Stir this mixture every 3 minutes and leave it on medium low heat.
The final product is MUCH better and tastier than regular old baked beans and it goes well with just about ANYTHING!
