I did it with refried beans (I didn't have black beans).

Meatballs in sauce? The classic recipe with grape jam or cranberry sauce...
Ooh- bacony snausages! I have no idea what they're really called, but they're sooooo good. Not a great show recipe, because it's a 3-ingredient thing and very few tools. But it's a great dish for parties.
Heat oven to 350˚F. Cut 1 pound of bacon in half crosswise, so that you have 1/2-length slices of bacon. Wrap each 1/2 slice around a Little Smoky (mini smoked sausages) and secure with a toothpick. Place in baking dish (DCB). When you have a solid layer of sausages, liberally top with brown sugar. You want to thinly cover the meat - teeny areas visible, but nothing blatantly sticking out above the sugar other than toothpicks. Bake 30 minutes or until bacon is cooked and sausages are heated through. The sugar will combine with the bacon drippings to make a thick sweet-and-savory syrup/sauce. You can bake in a double layer, but the sausages on the top layer won't have as much sauce sticking to them when you pull them out to serve. Be careful when eating, too - hot sugar syrup can burn your mouth! (Ask me how I know...)
