Caribbean Style Black Beans With Rum
This is still really good even without the rum, but better with it! You can reduce the rum to 1/4 cup or increase it to 1/2 cup if desired! use a dry smoked sausage for this, chorizo would work fine, although i have only made this using smoked sausage, i imagine that thick-sliced bacon could replace the smoked sausage. Adjust the tabasco sauce to suit taste.
Steps
In a large saucepan cook the sausage over medium heat until browned.
Drain fat but leave a small amount in the saucepan.
Crumble the cooked sausage into pieces.
Set aside.
Add in the onion , garlic and jalapenos.
Saute for about 4-5 minutes or until tender.
Add in ketchup with all remaining ingredients bring to a boil , reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes stirring occasionally.
Add in the cooked sausage and the drained black beans.
Stir to combine , then simmer over low heat for about 1 hour or a little more.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
