Feijoada

{Bless you...} Valentine's Day was pretty good. We went to church, came home, Mikayla and I made pink heart shaped rice crispy treats and then we took them to her little friends {she made the little tags}. I decided to make Joel a special dinner for his present: Feijoada. It's a Brazilian black bean dish. I think it turned out pretty well! Looks can be deceiving...

Feijoada (crock pot style):
2 bags black beans (16 oz)
1 can chicken broth
1 can Beef broth
onion
garlic
3 bay leaves
bacon
Pork tenderloin
Kielbasa sausage

Soak 2 bags black beans over night
Put broth, beans, onion, bay leaves and garlic into crock pot.
Cook bacon, cut up, put in crock pot.
Sear pork loin in same pan (I put a little bit of Spike seasoning on it), put in crock pot.
Let it cook on high for about 7 hours.
Cut kielbasa and add.
Voila! Put over rice and enjoy.
I was surprised that even the kiddos liked it!
