You can substitute healthier versions of the bacon, sausage and beans to this and its just as good as the original. I"m not listing specifics here but turkey bacon and such work just as well.
1/2 packet of bacon
2 links of Eckredge Farm smoked Sausage - sliced in small links
Cilantro - chopped, I use a lot because we really like cilantro in our house.
2 large cans of La Sierra Charro Beans or you can get any canned Pinto Beans.
1/2 Onion - chopped
1 Garlic clove
1 cup of water
Jalapeno or Serrano peppers, chopped - if you want it spicy
Cook bacon until crispy, remove from pan.
In the same pan, add the sausage and cook - I like it when it's a bit browned but not too dark. Remove from pan.
Remove oil, leaving about 1/3 of it in the pan, enough to cook the onions, garlic and cilantro.
Reduce heat to med/high.
Add the onions and cook until they start to become clear, then add the garlic. Cook for about a minute as garlic tends to burn easily. Then add the cilantro and cook for about another minute until the cilantro waters down.
You can add the jalapeno or serrano peppers now if you want to add a kick to the beans.
Add the beans, bacon and sausage to the pot and add 1 cup of water and bring to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes covered.
Turn off heat and let stand for about 10 minutes and enjoy.
Serve alone or as a side with Mexican rice. Avocados are always good with it as well as corn torillas.
Hope you like it.
