How To Make cowboy beans

Step 1

Slice bacon into small pieces, brown in a skillet and drain fat. I reserve some of the bacon fat and use it to saute the onions and brown the kielbasa in.

Step 2

Brown kielbasa in skillet with small amount of bacon fat. Drain on paper towel and set aside. Saute the diced onion in a about a tablespoon of bacon fat until soft. Drain on paper towel and set aside.
Step 3

Add all ingredients to crock-pot and stir to combine. Cook on low for about 6 hours or until they have thickened.
Step 4

Add as much or as little of the jalapeno as you like, or eliminate altogether if not a fan of spicy food.
