In a medium pot add the beans and cover with about 2 inches of water. Place over medium-high heat.
Stir in the guajillo peppers, garlic and bacon. Cover and bring to a boil for 30 minutes.
Reduce heat to medium and add stir in the Seasoning packet, provided in the bean package. Stir in the ancho chili powder and cover and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Be sure to add hot water, if needed while the beans are cooking so they aren’t too dry.
Stir in the sausage and green chiles. Cover and continue to cook for an additional 1 to 1 ½ hours, or until the beans are tender.
Serve with cornbread, tortillas or crackers.
For higher elevations, you can soak the beans in cold water for 4 to 6 hours. Grab our homemade Bratwurst recipe here: https://kentrollins.com/best-h...
