Instructions
  1. Heat oil in a 12-inch sauté pan over medium heat.  Cook onion, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, until pieces begin to soften, but not brown.
  2. Meanwhile, dice green pepper into pieces about ¼ inch in size.  Tip:  Slice pepper lengthwise into ¼-inch strips.  Holding the strips together, cut crosswise in ¼-inch pieces.  Add green pepper to cooking onion.  Cover.  Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  5. Meanwhile, drain beans and rinse thoroughly.
  6. Add beans to sauté pan.  Stir well.  Cover.  Simmer for 5 minutes to heat beans and blend flavors.
