- 3 to 4 garlic cloves, finely minced (this is my own personal touch)
- 1 to 2 onions, finely chopped (I love them, so in they went)
- Seasonings (after beans cooked, and to taste)
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 2 teaspoons of ground black pepper
- Dash of hot sauce (we love it)
- 1 tablespoon cumin, optional (I love it, so I added that)
