Red Beanz and Rice

Serves 4+

This dish is best prepared a day before to allow the flavours to develop.

The Chilli is a vital ingredient. The bacon can be ommitted for vegetarians, but it does add a definate flavour to the dish.

This is a simple meal, or a side dish to something bland. My thanks to my one of my adopted "mum's" for this recipe. I like to have this on it's own (with the rice) when I want something that is a little spicy, and has a great combinations of flavour.

Freezes really well!
