Bacon Refried Beans

---

This is worth the time to make and 100% better than any canned! --- turkey bacon may be replaced with the regular bacon -- double or triple amount and freeze, this freezes very well and is worth having ready for recipes, if desired mix in some fresh cilantro to the bean mixture before using, to take this to a whole new level add in about 2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix at the end of cooking :)

In a heavy saucepan , cook the chopped bacon until almost crisp.
