Preparation

1. Place the bacon in a large pot over medium heat until the fat is rendered. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and discard. Add the onion and garlic and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the beans, the broth or water and the beer. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes. Stir in the jalapeno slices. Cook until beans are tender, about 30 minutes, adding water if necessary to keep beans covered. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in cilantro and serve immediately.
