But really I have cans of black beans (good ones, ones my roommate's girlfriend made black beans and rice with, and it was AWESOME) and no idea how to cook them properly. Do I HAVE to season and use garlic and stuff, as i see on the side of the can, or is it ok to just cook it and dump over rice? I'm pretty sure i've eaten it only like that, without extra stuff added in.
Thanks in advance for the help!!

Here how I make Black Beans, It is not as easy as you might think but it is not that hard.
1/2 pound black beans (dry not in the can)
1/2 onion peeled
pepper
2 cloves of garlic peeled
2 tablespoons olove oil
1 medium onion, chopped
4 cloves of garlic minced
1/4 cup diced slab bacon (you can use bacon slices coped up)
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 tesspoon flour
salt
Soak the beans for 1 hour in 2 cups water. Drain.
Place the beans in a pot, cover with 2 cups of water, add 1/2 onion, pepper(to tast), and the whole garlic cloves. Cover and simmer 1 hour.
While the beans are cooking, heat the oil in a small skillet. Saute the chopped onion, minced garlic and bacon untill the bacon is lightly browned. Sprinkle on the paprika and flour. Add this mixture to the bean pot, along with the salt. Continue cooking until the beans are done, about 1 hour or more, adding some water if necessary.(the beans should have very little liquid when done.) Dicard teh 1/2 onion.
These are tasty black beans.
Enjoy
