Traditional Brazilian black bean stew (feijoada) can take quite some time to prepare. Considering I spend most of my time chasing after two small children, I've come up with this recipe for a very quick feijoada. This goes very well with white rice.

Ingredients

2 stripss bacon , diced
0.5 cups minced onion
0.5 cups minced green bell pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro , Optional
2 cloves garlic , minced
1 bay leaf
2 cans black beans , 15 ounce
0.5 cups chicken broth , or more as needed
1 teaspoon vinegar
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 dash hot sauce to taste , Optional

Instructions

1

Cook bacon in a pot over medium heat until almost crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Add onion and green pepper to bacon; cook and stir until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Mix in cilantro, garlic, and bay leaf; cook and stir until flavors combine, 1 to 2 minutes.
2

Stir beans, chicken broth, vinegar, salt, pepper, and hot sauce into the onion mixture; cover and let simmer until the flavors combine, 10 to 15 minutes. Add more chicken broth if you would like the beans to be more soupy.
