The upside-down pineapple cake I made up because I couldn’t locate a good one. This cake is so moist that it doesn’t require icing. Great for breakfast in particular!

Ingredients
- 6 ounces bacon, roughly chopped
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
- 1 cup water
- 1 green onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, or more to taste
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground dried chipotle pepper
Instructions
- Place bacon in a 2-quart pot. Cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove some bacon grease, as needed, to keep from boiling the bacon. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.
- Add onion to the pot; saute in the remaining bacon grease until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add chopped jalapeno; saute until starting to soften, about 2 minutes.
- Add the bacon, pinto beans, tomatoes, water, green onion, cilantro, salt, garlic powder, and chipotle to the onion mixture. Bring to a slow boil; reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture is hot and flavors meld, about 15 minutes.
- I watch my sodium intake so I usually use reduced-sodium chicken stock and unsalted pinto beans. Feel free to adjust the sodium along with the rest of the spices and amount of cilantro to suit your tastes.
- The single chopped jalapeno does not provide a lot of heat so if you like it spicier, increase how much you use. This is a very easy and forgiving recipe.
