Cuban Style Black Beans With Bacon image

I started experimenting with black beans awhile ago. I tried a bunch of Cuban recipes and although most were very good, I wanted the dish to look as good as it tasted. This dish combines complimentary flavors to the beans while adding tons of color. I usually serve this dish alongside rice. If you have time you can cook your own beans in a pressure cooker, but canned beans work fine too. If jalapenos are too spicy for you, you can substitute Anaheim peppers instead.

I'm on a low-carb diet, so I used black soybeans instead of regular black beans. It worked out great!

I'm a vegetarian, so I substituted the bacon for mushrooms. It was still delicious!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my beans turned out mushy. I think I might have cooked them for too long.
