  • 3 cups dry anasazi beans
  • 1 strip apple-smoked bacon, diced 1/4-inch
  • 1/4 cup salsa
  • 1/2 cup 2 percent milk
  • 2 teaspoons Mexican oregano

  1. Rinse the anasazi beans thoroughly under cold water. Transfer them to a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let simmer until the beans are soft, about 30 to 45 minutes. Once cooked, drain off any extra liquid and allow the beans to cool a bit. They should be tender.
  2. In a large saut pan over medium heat, cook the bacon until it becomes crisp. Add the salsa, cooked beans, 1/4 cup of milk, and all the seasonings. Stir and let simmer for 5 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a food processor, add the cheese, and pulse until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add more milk as needed. Taste and adjust the seasonings if desired. Serve right away.
