Traditional Brazilian black beans (feijoada) can take quite some time to prepare. Considering I spend most of my time chasing after 2 small children, I've come up with this recipe for a very quick feijoada. This goes very well with white rice.

Thank you for sharing this recipe. I saw it in the Allrecipes magazine and had to immediately make it. Very quick and easy. Really nice way to spruce up black beans. I had a yellow pepper instead of green so I used that instead. It did provide some nice color. Other than that, followed recipe exactly...came out great. Read More

Easy to boot! Added some chopped chipped beef slices, as suggested by Chef John, and sautéed with the onion/pepper mixture. Also increased the # of bacon slices. So pretty with green avocados on top and sliced oranges on the side. Great flavors and it's something different to break the monotony. Would be quick to make on a work night. Read More
