Beans and Rice a la Bruce

Ingredients:
3 or so cups of dried black beans
brown rice
grated cheddar cheese
frozen peas - he loves them
Pace Picante sauce
diced sweet onion

The night before you want to eat them, use uncooked black beans - not the canned stuff  - about 3 cups.
Sort out any stones or other stuff in the beans. In the cooking pot, cover them with lost of water, mix them around, then drain the water. then add a bunch of clean water and soak overnight. This is important to get the lectins out.

The next day, cook in an instant pot (which is the best way to get rid of the lectins) or  in a crock pot, or on the stove.

Mix up add all the ingredients in the bowl that Lisa made in high school
