Instructions

  1. In a medium sized saucepan, over medium heat, place the bacon pieces and allow to fry till crispy.
  2. Add the beans, water, sugar, salt, pepper, vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder and cayenne pepper (optional) to the bacon pieces and bacon grease and stir
  3. Stir frequently until heated through and bubbly throughout.  Serve hot and offer hot sauce, chopped onion or chopped jalapeno as garnish.

Notes

  • Pour off the water from the can of beans, it doesn’t taste that good.
  • This recipe is for 2 people, if you want to serve more people, you will have to increase the recipe by as many people as you need to serve.  Don’t forget to increase the spices as well.
  • PRO TIP:  If you don't have ALL of the spices, that is ok, use what you DO have.  The main idea is to get a little oil (bacon grease) smoked flavor (bacon), sweetness (sugar), salt, pepper, heat (cayenne) and acid (vinegar) into the recipe.  Some substitutions that you could make include: 
  • For vinegar:  white vinegar, lemon juice.
  • Bacon: 1 tbs vegetable oil or any other oil, 1 tbs butter PLUS ¼ teaspoon liquid smoke. 
  • Sugar:  same amount of honey, maple syrup, raw sugar, brown sugar.
  • Pour off the water from the can of beans, it doesn’t taste that good.
