Cozy Bean Soup

Directions

1. 1
   Place your chopped bacon in a skillet or pan on medium high heat.
2. 2
   Cook it until it starts to lose fat (about 5 minutes.)
3. 3
   Add in your red onion and cook it along with the bacon until it becomes translucent (about 4-5 minutes.)
4. 4
   Add in your chopped fresh garlic and cook it until you can smell it (about one minute.)
5. 5
   Now it's time to add all of your canned ingredients (chicken broth, rotel, and black + pinto beans) and your lemon, ketchup, worcestershire sauce and taco seasoning.
6. 6
   Bring to a boil.
7. 7
   I like to add a dash of red pepper flakes at this point, but that is totally optional!
8. 8
   After about 15 minutes of boiling, add in your cilantro.
9. 9
   Cook for 5 more minutes.
10. 10
    Serve immediately with shredded cheese and sour cream to garnish.
