Kidney Beans with Corn Bread



I was craving corn bread so I made a simple, cheap meal for 1 using Indian Head Old Fashioned Stone Ground Yellow Corn Meal.

Kidney Bean Melody:
1/2 can dark red kidney beans
1/4 medium white onion (chopped)
1/4 red pepper (chopped)
cumin
salt
pepper
minced garlic
olive oil

In olive oil over medium high heat, I sauteed minced garlic 30 seconds then added the red pepper and onion for about 4 minutes. Then I added the kidney beans (drained). I mixed over medium heat for about 3 minutes, until the beans were heated. Then I added cumin, salt, and pepper.

For the corn bread, I followed the recipe for golden yellow corn bread on the back of the corn meal packaging. I used course sea salt, and I think that is what caused the bread to crack (also I think I added too much flour). But the course salt was a pleasant surprise in various bites because it remained in the salt's original size. I really like salt.

The meal was also good with the kidney bean melody mixed with cooked crumbled golden yellow corn bread.

I recommend this meal.
