Bacon Recipe ♯ Luscious Turkey Bacon Refried Beans

This also makes a great savory spread for bread.

Ingredients

• 3 slices turkey bacon, diced
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• ½ fresh jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
• 1 (15.5 ounce) can black beans, with liquid
• 1 cup chicken stock (more as needed)
• 1 teaspoon salt to taste
• ½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, to taste
• 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Cooking Directions

1. Place turkey bacon, onion, garlic, and jalapeno in a saucepan over medium heat, and cook until the onions are transparent. Turn the heat to low and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the onions have caramelized to a deep brown, about 1 hour.
2. Pour in the beans, and mash roughly with a potato masher. Pour in 1 cup of chicken stock and bring to a simmer; simmer about 1 hour, stirring occasionally, adding more chicken stock as needed to achieve desired consistency. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and stir in cilantro just before serving.
