Sweet and Spicy Black Beans and Corn

The finished product (with some brown rice)

I can’t take credit for this recipe, but it is a homemade recipe that I have made numerous times (thanks Brad for creating this). This is a healthy side dish that would be great with stuff from the grill or even a side on Mexican Food night. The sweetness and spiciness can be adjusted to fit anyone’s palate. I love this recipe, because it’s so easy and so good.

Ingredients:

·      2 cans of Black Beans (one drained, the other not drained)

·      1 can of whole kernel Corn

·      Jalapeños to taste

·      Brown Sugar to taste

·      Black Pepper to taste

·      Chili powder (about 1/8 teaspoon)

Directions:

1. Add everything to a medium saucepan.

I halved the recipe and added the entire can of corn, it is better to follow the recipe's proportions.

2. Bring the mixture to a boil and stir occasionally to avoid burning.

The dish should have some sauce with it, and should be thick.

3. Heat thoroughly.  

The Black beans and corn served with brown rice and chicken topped with Peach BBQ sauce.

Notes:

*The corn could be made extra delicious by draining the canned corn and roasting it under the broiler.
