Bell Pepper With Navy Beans

As the only vegetarian in the family, i've had to develop quick meals i can whip up, while everyone else eats their non-vegetarian meal. this is one of my all-time favorites, and is pretty substantial.

Steps

Cut pepper into bite-size pieces.
Usually , i cut it into strips , and then cut each strip into 3 or 4 pieces , depending on the length.
Spray frying pan with non-stick spray , and add pepper.
Add beans , and turn on medium / medium-high heat.
Let heat , then add seasoning.
I just shake on the salt , pepper and garlic powder so that the pepper and beans have a light covering.
Add as much basil as desired-- i personally add up to 5 basil leaves.
Mix ingredients together , lightly , making sure peppers get most of the heat.
Add about 1 / 4 cup of water to the mixture , to prevent burning , and let cook for about 10-15 minutes , or until peppers are tender , adding another 1 / 4 cup of water about half-way through.
Take off heat when any remaining water has completely evaporated-- the more you can cook it without water , the better.
Put mixture in bowl , and enjoy.
