Love the black beans served at Chili's? Try this copycat version, made with only 5 ingredients.

2 cans (15.5 ounce size) black beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Combine the beans, sugar, cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder in a saucepan over medium-low heat. cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. 
 To serve like Chili's does, place the beans on a plate in the middle. Top with a grilled chicken breast and a serving of rice on the side. Add some picadillo and sprinkle with crushed tortilla chips.

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

This was pretty good. don't know if it's like Chilis or not but it made a good and simple bean side dish

When I made this recipe, I was unsure whether of not to drain the black beans in the can. I decided to first not drain the beans and it was considerably too salty and the cumin was too strong! I tried the recipe again, drained the beans and used less cumin and the beans fell apart.
It says to rinse and drain the beans. If they "fell apart" you may have had the heat too high.
I think there's also a bit of fresh cilantro that's in the Chili's version.
