BEANS WITH TURKEY BACON

Steps:

• Cook 4 chopped slices turkey bacon, 1 chopped onion, 3 chopped garlic cloves and 2 teaspoons thyme in vegetable oil in a large skillet, stirring, 5 minutes. Add two 15-ounce cans great Northern beans (drained and rinsed), 1 1/2 cups water, 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/3 cup maple syrup, 2 tablespoons yellow mustard, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Simmer over medium-low heat until thickened, about 20 minutes.

BEAN WITH BACON SOUP

Steps:

• Pick through the beans, then rinse and drain them. Put them in a large pot and cover with water by 2 inches. Let soak overnight.
• Drain the beans and return them to the pot. Add the chicken stock and 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer.
• While the beans are simmering, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Add half the bacon to the beans, reserving the rest for garnish.
• Remove all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease from the skillet and add the carrots, celery and onions. Season with some salt and pepper and cook until the vegetables are just beginning to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the tomato paste and garlic and cook for another minute, stirring to combine.
• Using a slotted spoon, add the vegetables to the beans. Add the bay leaves and give it a good stir. Taste to check if it needs any additional seasoning. Simmer until the beans are tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
• When ready to serve, stir in the tomatoes. Serve with the reserved bacon and chopped parsley.

CHEF JOEY'S PAPAGO TEPARY & BLACK BEAN SOUP (CROCK POT)

Steps:

• Soak the beans in the fridge in one large container overnight with the cumin. I put in about a tablespoon of cumin in, but its up to you how much you want to add. Make sure you put double the amount of soak water to the beans. You don't want this drying out on you.
• In the morning drain the beans and set aside.
• In a medium size saute pan, heat up the vegan margarine and olive oil. Cook the turkey bacon, then add the onion and shallots and saute a little longer.
• Add the garlic and chipotle powder, or other chili powder if you don't have chipotle. Then add the mushroom and saute for a minute or two, then add the celery and carrots.
• Saute for about 5 minutes then add about 1 cup of the no-chicken broth and let this simmer for about 5 more minutes.
• Transfer the whole mixture to your crock pot and then add enough broth to fill within 2 inches from the top. Crumble in the oregano.
• Give it a good stir.
• Set the crock on high and leave for at least 6 hours.
• Taste a little of the soup after 6 hours and make sure all the beans are soft and the veggies cooked. If not leave for another 1/2 hour.
• About 3/4 of an hour before you serve this add the can of tomatoes. Cook for the remaining time.
• Enjoy with some Indian Fry Bread or bread of your choice.
• Bon Appetit!
