Recipe

• 1 saute the onion for a few minutes. then add the chopped bacon and cook for a few more minutes. add the garlic and saute for a few more minutes.
• 2 add the beans to a large bowl and mash them with the vinegar. this supposedly degases the beans. i found it did work.
• 3 once the beans are mashed add back some of the liquid from the beans. try adding a little at a time until you get a nice consistency. don't over mash the beans.
• 4 add in the cooked bacon/onion/garlic mixture and mix it up well.
• 5 in the bottom of a microwave safe dish layer some tortilla chips on the bottom and pour some of the bean/onion/bacon dip over the chips. then shred some of the cheese on top.
• 6 repeat the layers and top with cheese. you can also add a little salsa between the layers if you like.
• 7 place in the microwave and place a loose fitting cover over top but not touching the food.
• 8 set to reheat. when the dish is heated through it's ready.
• 9 bon appetite!
