Bacon Refried Beans - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 slices uncooked bacon, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh minced garlic
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon minced seeded jalapeno pepper (or use half of a jalapeno pepper, or to taste)
1 -2 tablespoon oil (if needed)
1 (15 ounce) can black beans (do NOT drain)
1 cup canned chicken broth (more if needed)
1 1/2 teaspoons seasoning salt (or use 1 teaspoon white salt or to taste)
fresh ground black pepper (to taste)

Preparation

In a heavy saucepan, cook the chopped bacon until almost crisp; remove to a plate (do not drain fat).
To the same saucepan add in the onion, garlic, 1 teaspoon sugar and jalapeno peppers; cook stirring until transparent (about 3 minutes).
Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook until the onions have caramalized and are a deep brown (this should take about 25 minutes, add in a little more oil if needed).
Add the cooked bacon back to the saucepan along with the undrained black beans; roughly mash using a potato masher.
Add in 1 cup broth and bring to a simmer stirring.
Simmer uncovered over low heat for 1 hour stirring occasionally adding in more broth if needed to achieve desired consistancy.
Season with the seasoned salt (or white salt) and black pepper to taste.
