This is actually really good and suprisingly flavorful. It's super easy to throw together. If you don't have onions or bell peppers, it's probably not a bit deal either. Serve it by itself or with rice.

Black pepper to taste
1 (16 oz) can kidney beans, with liquid
1 (15.25 oz) can whole kernal corn, with liquid


Directions:
1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over mdium-high heat and cook garlic and onion until onion is tender.

I was kind of "iffy" about this recipe. It didn't sound all that magnanimous. But honestly, it was delicious. Eliot raved about it and had second and third helpings. Super flavorful and super easy. I think it will now be one of our staples!
