A fiber-rich bean dish! How about trying Texas-style pork beans from the western US?
The origin of this recipe: A friend from Texas taught me this recipe, and after returning to Japan, I tried making it with ingredients available here. The types of beans are a bit different, but I've adapted it with what's available in Japan. I love this delicious, fiber-rich Texas bean dish!

Steps

1

Dice the bell pepper, onion, and bacon into bite-sized pieces, similar in size to the beans.
2

Place the bacon in a frying pan and cook until the fat is rendered, being careful not to burn it. Do not make it crispy! Wipe off some of the excess fat.
3

Add the bell pepper and onion to the bacon and sauté lightly.
4

Reduce the heat to low, add the mustard, chili mix powder, and ketchup, and sauté lightly.
5

Add the prepared beef bouillon and canned beans to the mixture. If there is no moisture, add enough water to cover all the ingredients.
6

Cover and simmer on low heat for about 20 minutes, allowing some of the moisture to evaporate.
7

Taste and adjust with salt and pepper. If you like it spicy, add Tabasco and it's ready to serve!
