- soak beans overnight or bring them to a boil for 2 minutes . turn off heat. cover and let sit for 1 hour.

- In 4-quart saucepan over medium heat, fry bacon until crisp, reserving 1 tablespoon fat. Remove bacon, crumble it and set aside. Heat bacon fat on medium heat. Add onion and garlic and sauté until onions are soft.

Spending almost 25 years in Miami, we have come to love Cuban cuisine. This is a wonderful side dish, (sometimes main dish).

This sounds wonderful! I usually just put bacon in raw with the beans I cook...frying first and using the bacon drippings sounds sooooooooo much better. Thanks, Peeta! 5up
