Easy Beans and Rice

2 cans black beans -- (about 16 oz can)
1/2 cup onion
1 strip bacon
4 tablespoons prepared picante sauce
2 cloves garlic
salt and pepper to taste

Sauté the onions in oil or non-stick spray until slightly translucent. Cut the bacon strip into about 1 inch pieces. Add the garlic and bacon to the onions and Sauté until the bacon is somewhat cooked but still limp.

Stir in the cans of beans. Stir in about 4 heaping tablespoons of picante sauce (add more if you like). Let this simmer for about ten minutes. Keep covered and stir occasionally.

You may want to try to mash up some of the beans with the spoon. This mixture should ultimately be slightly soupy. Serve over Rice in a bowl.
