1 c Ham bits (include juice,

-etc.; will be "gelled" from -storage in refrigerator) 7 Jalapeno peppers (fresh

-or frozen) 2 cn Pinto beans (16-oz)

-reserve liquid from -one can 1 ts Monosodium glutamate

1 tb Minced onion flakes

1 ts Mexene chili powder

Blend ingredients well and serve. Beau's notes: * There are no "jalapeno beans;" there are jalapeno peppers and pinto beans. I have two recipes, both of which are quite tref, but a Catholic should worry? But if you are hosting a Jewish person, smoked turkey will substitute most agreeably for the chazer called for in either recipe.]
