Ingredients

1 (2 lb.) bag red beans
1 large yellow onion, chopped
1 or 2 chopped, deseeded jalapenos
1 or 2 carrots
1 or 2 Tbsp. brown sugar or honey (optional)
1 or 2 Tbsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. salt

2 or 3 garlic toes (whole)

Preparation

Soak beans overnight; drain and cover with fresh water.
Bring beans to boil; reduce heat.
Add onion, jalapeno, brown sugar, chili powder, salt, red pepper and garlic.
Cook for about 1 hour. While cooking, cut carrots into very small bite size pieces.
Cook for 30 minutes more.
Remove garlic toes and serve over steamed rice.
I also add 1 link of Healthy Choice smoked sausage (chopped) when I add the carrots.
Makes a very healthy, tasty meal.
