  • Season the beans with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a ham hock or smoked sausage for extra flavor.
  • Bring the beans to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for at least 1 hour, or until the beans are tender.
  • While the beans are cooking, prepare the puffed rice topping. Combine the puffed rice, butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl and mix well.
