Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb dried black beans, rinsed
7 cups water
1 cup fully cooked lean ham, diced
5 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/4 tsp pepper
1 1/4 tsp cumin
1 tsp salt (i omitted it)
1 bay leaf (i forgot)
1/2 tsp liquid smoke (i used it cause i like the taste it gives) (optional)
4 cups chicken broth
2 cups uncooked long grain rice
1 tbsp red wine vinegar (i omitted it)
2 tsp olive oil (i omitted it)
3/4 cup reduced-fat cheddar cheese, shredded
3/4 cup sweet red pepper, chopped
2 tbsp jalapeno peppers, chopped

Directions:

Place beans in a Dutch oven or soup kettle; add water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil; boil for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; cover and let stand for 1 to 4 hours or until softened (I waited 4 hours). Drain and rinse beans, discarding liquid.
Return beans to the pan. Add 7 cups water, ham, garlic, pepper, cumin, salt, bay leaf and liquid smoke if desired. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 1 1/2 hours or until beans are tender.
Meanwhile, in a saucepan, bring broth an drice to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until rice is tender. Just before serving, discard bay leaf from bean mixture; add vinegar and oil (I don't know if it's supposed to be that way, but I had a lot of liquid and didn't see why I would add vinegar and oil.) Serve over rice. Sprinkle each serving with 1 tablespoon cheese, 1 tablespoon red pepper and 1 teaspoon jalapenos.
