  6. Add the other 2 cans of beans (with liquid), lime juice, and cooked bacon bits to the pan.

Recipe Notes

Change it Up:
In place of the jalapeno, add one chipotle pepper.
Dress it Up:
Top with shredded sharp cheddar cheese (you can place this under the oven broiler for a couple of minutes, if desired, to melt it and make it bubbly and delicious!)
