Spiced Up Pinto Beans

This recipe is a work in progress. My husband served his mission to Brazil, and he really misses all the great rice and beans he would get served daily. We are constantly trying different spice combinations to make the "perfect" Brazilian beans. If any of you out there have a good recipe for Brazilian style beans, please share.
Ingredients:
2 cans pinto beans (drain only one can)
3 cloves garlic
2 Tb. vegetable oil
1/2 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground pepper
3 bay leaves
1/2 tsp. onion powder

What to do:

1. Saute pressed garlic in the vegetable oil until golden. Add all remaining ingredients.
2. Cover. Simmer 45 minutes.
3. Drain remaining water. Remove bay leaves.
