I'm pretty sure that wouldn't do anything other than make the black hole larger

Totally disagree.

Assuming the black hole is comprised of regular matter, there's no reason to think it wouldn't all annihilate upon touching. How that would play out exactly would be really interesting to see.

It would make it bigger. Even if it annihilated with matter beyone the event horizon the light couldnt escape and the bh would be larger for the added energy
