- While beans are cooking cut and cook bacon, till its fully cooked and set aside.
- In another frying pan add 2 cups of ham and 2 cups of chopped smoked sausage.*Both cut into small cubes. Brown the ham and sausage for about 7-10 minutes, and set aside.
- Add the can of beer to your beans before the they are fully cooked and let simmer till the beans become fully cooked.
- When the beans are fully cooked, add the all the remaining ingredients into the pot ( a whole bunch of chopped cilantro, diced jalapeno peppers, diced onions, diced tomatoes, cooked bacon, ham, and sausage) . Let the beans come to a boil after you add the remaining ingredients. This recipe will not need salt because there is already enough of that coming from your beer, bacon and ham and sausage. The secret is in the cilantro and the beer. The more cilantro and beer the more flavorful!
- *For those of you that don't eat pork, you can use turkey ham, turkey bacon and turkey sausage. The taste is just as flavorful.

Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has almost completely evaporated, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the beans, lager, bacon, and 10 cups cold water to the pot and simmer uncovered, stirring and skimming occasionally, adding more boiling water if needed, until the beans are tender, 45 to 75 minutes.
- Remove the beans from the heat and stir in the cilantro. Let the beans sit for 10 minutes before serving.
