Add 8 cups of water to the pot.
Bring the water to a boil, and let boil for 2 minutes
Reduce the heat to simmer for 1 1/2 hours, and cover with

your water level. If it gets too low, add more.

After 1 1/2 -2 hours, set the beans aside.
Start the ground beef browning.
Once it is all browned, set aside on the stove.
Chop the 8 pieces of bacon.
Cut the onion in half. Only use half right now.
Cut the half into slices.
Toss the onions in a fry pan with 1 teaspoon of
vegetable oil.
Add the bacon also and cook both over high heat for 5-7 minutes.
Chop the 2 cloves of garlic.
Chop off both ends. Peel.
Cut the garlic down the middle. Depending on the size
of the clove, you may want to cut the garlic 3-4 times,
lengthwise.
Chop the garlic by slicing through the lengthwise cuts.
Sometimes the tops are wide enough to be used.
This one is not.
Cut down the sides, around the center. You should
end up with 4 pieces. Throw the center spine away.
Rinse all the pieces to get rid of the seeds.
You can keep the seeds if you like it really hot.
Slice the pieces of the pepper.
Turn the slices sideways, and chop.
Add the garlic and jalapeno to the bacon and onions.
Cook for 1 minute.
to the pot of beans, and stir.
Stir.
This one is to put on our nachos.
Cut the tomato in half.
Slice each half in fourths.
Chop the fourths into small bite sized pieces.
These are what's called a "rough chop". That means
that the sizes to not have to be all the same.
Chop the other half of the onion. Cut the onion in slices like we did earlier.
Chop the slices.
Fill a small bowl with cold water.
Swish some stems of cilantro around in the water to clean them.
Dry with a paper towel.
Spread the chips on to a plate.
Spread the cheese on the chips.
Top the cheese with the hamburger.
They are actually called Cowboy Beans!
Pop in the microwave until the cheese melts, 20-30 seconds.
Cut the avocado in half by going through the
skin and around the seed.
Slice the avocado in the skin, then turn and slice the
other way. It will look like little squares. Pull out of the
skin with a spoon.
Sprinkle the avocado pieces around the top.
Place a scoop of sour cream in the center.
Thanks for joining me today.
This recipe takes a long time to make, but it is soooo worth it.
It can be done in stepto make it easier to do.
The beans can be made the day before, the prep on the onions,
the jalapenos and the garlic can be done earlier and
then refrigerated until you are ready.
