Como fazer Bacon Refried Beans

Chop 6 slices of bacon into 1/2-inch pieces. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan or Dutch oven, cook the bacon over medium heat until almost crisp (about 8-10 minutes).
Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
Add 1 medium onion, chopped, 2 cloves garlic, minced, 1 teaspoon sugar, and 1-2 jalapeño peppers, finely minced (adjust to your spice preference) to the saucepan.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent (about 5 minutes).
Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions have caramelized and are a deep brown color (about 15-20 minutes).
Return the cooked bacon to the saucepan. Add 2 (15-ounce) cans of undrained black beans.
Roughly mash the beans using a potato masher or immersion blender to your desired consistency. Leave some whole beans for texture.
Add 1 cup of beef or vegetable broth and bring to a simmer, stirring frequently.
Simmer uncovered over low heat for 45-60 minutes, stirring occasionally and adding more broth as needed to reach your desired consistency. The longer it simmers, the more the flavors will meld.
Season generously with seasoned salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in 2 tablespoons of taco seasoning (optional) and 1/4 cup of chopped fresh cilantro (optional).
Serve hot and enjoy!
