Instructions
Place beans in a large pot with a tight-fitting cover
and add enough water to cover beans by about 2 inches. Bring to a boil over high
heat. Meanwhile, place bacon, onion, and garlic in a medium cast iron frying pan
and brown the mixture, while stirring, over medium heat. Add bacon mixture to
beans. Reduce heat and simmer until beans are soft, about 3 hours total cooking
time, adding more hot water if needed. Add chili powder, sugar, salt, pepper,
diced tomatoes with green chiles, and jalapeno peppers. Simmer for another 10
minutes and then serve.
