Awesome Black Beans & Rice

Directions

In a large pot, heat oil until fragrant. Add onion, bell pepper and garlic and cook until tender, about 8 minutes.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook over medium-high heat until all the water has been absorbed. It should take 15 minutes or less.

Stir with a fork, cover and cook over low heat until the rice is tender. Discard bay leaf and serve hot.
