If using bacon add to frying pan with garlic and spices. Fry until bacon is brown, remove bacon if you like. Otherwise, put enough bacon grease in pan to coat bottom. Lightly fry spices and garlic until garlic is browned. Meanwhile mash beans, add grated cheese and chilies; stir. After browning add bean mixture. Fry/cook until bubbly and hot.
Serve covered with grated Colby or cheddar cheese.

**You might want to add a little garlic powder, salt and pepper. Add shredded cheese over served beans and serve with eggs in the morning or as a side dish in your midday or evening meal.**http://www.texmextogo.comuh...no clue151 slice bacon, diced or bacon grease16 oz can pinto beans2 cloves of garlic, crushed or diceddash ground cumindash oreganodash pepper1 cup Colby jack or cheddar cheese, grated2 diced roasted chili peppers, optional
