    Easy homemade Cuban black beans are a delicious side to any traditional Cuban dish

    These Cuban Black Beans are to die for! Not sure if people still use that phrase in the food blogging world but I’m going to use it. TO DIE FOR. No need to soak them overnight or cook them for an hour in your pressure cooker. Yes, they are canned black beans but they’re so delicious and easy to make. Preparation is incredibly simple. Chop some onion, garlic, open the can of beans, and place all the ingredients in a pot. That’s it. I love sharing Cuban recipes. In fact, I created an entire section just for Cuban recipes.

    Tip: Add a bit of ketchup if you want to piss my Cuban grandmother off

    Some people add sugar, ketchup, tomato sauce. I’ve tried it all. I enjoy it every way to be completely honest. I would never turn my nose up at any Cuban black bean recipe. Unless it has large green pepper chunks. I’ll still eat the beans but I will place the green monster to the side.

    Serve this over white rice or serve it in a bowl and tell your family it’s soup night. My fave way? White rice and roasted chicken.
