Steps:
- For the best basic beans: Cover the beans with cold water to cover by 1 inch, and soak at least 3 hours or up to overnight.
- Rinse the beans and place them in a large heavy-bottomed pot. Top with the garlic, bacon, bay leaves, onion, salt and pepper. Add enough water to cover by 1 inch, then mix and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, then cover the pot halfway (meaning, don't place the lid tightly on the pot) and cook until the liquid is thick and the beans are tender, 3 to 3 1/2 hours. (Continue to simmer if it needs more time.)
- Serve topped with grated Cheddar and diced red onion.

BEK'S BLACK BEAN SALSA/PICO DE GALLO
I love this with pork chops and yellow rice, as an alternative to plain black beans. It's also a great colorful dip to put out for parties with tortilla chips or pita chips. This can be served warm or cold, we like it both ways. This recipe started with leftovers from Recipe #289407, then adding the black beans, corn, and red bell pepper and some additional spices. I've written this to be made from scratch, but it might help to glance through that recipe first. I also included some variations I've tried at the bottom of the directions - as always, let me know how you change it up.

Steps:
- Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.

- Variations:
- Try roasted red bell pepper instead of fresh for a great, smoky taste.
- Use different colored bell peppers for a more festive look.
- Add 1/4 cup diced red onion.
- Add diced jalepenos or habaneros to kick it up.
- Let me know any other variations you try!

Tips:
- ### Use high-quality avocados: The avocados should be ripe but not overripe. Look for avocados that are dark green and have a slight give when pressed. - ### Properly season your guacamole: Guacamole should be well-seasoned with salt, lime juice, and cilantro. You can also add other spices, such as cumin, chili powder, or garlic powder, to taste. - ### Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will make all the difference in the taste of your salsa and pico de gallo. Make sure to use ripe tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and jalapeños. - ### Dice your ingredients evenly: This will help ensure that your salsa and pico de gallo are evenly seasoned and have a consistent texture. - ### Chill your salsa and pico de gallo before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and develop. - ### Serve your salsa and pico de gallo with a variety of dippers: This could include tortilla chips, crackers, pita bread, or vegetables. - ### Store your salsa and pico de gallo properly: Salsa and pico de gallo can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Be sure to store them in an airtight container. ###Conclusion:
