Made these tasty beans for tonight's dinner. I have never made them with red bell pepper before -- we generally use jalapeno pepper to spice them up a bit. Next time I would reduce the amount of red bell pepper (or eliminate it all together) as I think they add a bitter note to the beans. I would probably add some jalapeno as well to give them a little "kick" -- just a personal preference. Made for Spring PAC, March 2013.
