  1. This is a great side dish. Mine dried out a bit, so I added a few tablespoons of water while cooking. Thanks for the recipe.
     
  2. This was a nice side dish to pair with a Mexican meal. The bacon never became crisp, so next time I think I'll make the bacon before hand and then add to the beans. Very easy to make, loved it with sour cream on top. Thanks for posting!
     
  3. These beans are great and I can't believe how fast they were ready. I added a little liquid from the beans as they cooked to prevent them from getting too dry. The cumin, garlic, and bacon gave these great flavor. Thank you for this easy recipe Cheesehead!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am a Christian wife and mother of 3 kids. Since my DH's high cholesterol, we've been eating better. I never used to like cooking. Since eating better, I've liked learning and preparing new recipes. My kids haven't reconciled themselves to the new eating yet. I grind my own grain and make all my own breads.?Working 2 hours a day in the local high school lunch room.??I am homeschooling my high schooler.? ?Also found out 1 child has multiple food allergies (wheat, dairy, tomato, chocolate, etc) and another is gluten sensitive. So, we just started (July 09) eating gluten and dairy free. I've been busy with getting our house market ready, even though it's not the best time for that.?
