Tip: place a colander over a small bowl and add the pork and beans to allow the excess liquid to drain. Do not rinse the beans.
Tip: When dicing bell pepper, make sure the shiny side of the pepper is facing down on the cutting board allowing the knife to dice the non-shiny side gives better control for cutting.
