- Soak beans overnight.
- Cook beans in a large pot of water over low heat, covered loosely, for 2 - 3 hours (until beans are tender).
- While the beans are cooking, saute onion, garlic, and bell pepper in a 2 tbsp olive oil. When vegetables are well sauteed, add remaining olive oil and dry rice. Continue cooking until rice begins to develop a light brown color (stir frequently & do not allow to burn).
- Place rice & vegetable mixture in large pot with 8 cups water. Bring water to a boil; cover and turn heat to low. Cook 15 - 18 minutes or until rice is tender. Do not stir while rice is cooking and minimize opening of lid (this gets easier after you've made it a few times).
- Allow rice to set for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
- Drain excess water from beans, reserving 1 - 2 cups for future use.
- Add tomato sauce and seasoning to beans. Add small amounts of reserved water while stirring gently until desired consistency is reached.
- Serve over cooked rice.
- Top with sour cream if desired.
