The Brazilian answer to baked beans!!! It is delicious when served as a sidedish with meat, but you can also make it a main dish and hand some rice with it!

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 1 (8 ounce) package dry black beans

  • 2 ½ quarts water

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • 3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced

  • 1 large onion, chopped

  • 1 tomato, cubed

  • 1 carrot, cubed

  • ½ pound bacon strips, diced
