4-6 cups of beans,(homemade pinto) with broth (save extra broth in case the mix gets too thick)

1 medium onion, chopped

2-3 tomatoes, chopped 

serrano pepper- I use 2-3, ( as suits your heat preference) sliced thinly, seeds removed

8- 10  slices of bacon, chopped  

1 tbsp comino 

jalapeno sausage( fully cooked), sliced

2 garlic cloves chopped

salt

pepper

cilantro, washed and thick stems removed-chopped

Heat a large pot, or dutch oven( you need  enough room for the beans) and add bacon.

Cook bacon until crisps and remove from pan, add sausage to the pan to slightly crisp and heat through.

Remove the sausage and add onions. Stir frequently to loosen the brown bits from the bacon.

Cook for 2-3 minutes. Add tomatoes and serranos and continue to stir to remove any left over bits, you want all that flavor in your beans.

Add the comino,garlic, salt and pepper. Stir to combine.

Add your brothy beans and heat through.  Taste for seasoning and add salt or pepper if needed.

Add the cilantro just before serving, the cilantro will wilt quickly and it does not make for a great presentation.
