I eat spicy stuff all the time. Always adding tabasco to my meals. But man I thought these beans were a tad spicy with the 4 serranos. I'm going to try 4 jalepenos next time, or just a couple serranos.

Do you drain the beans or just dump the can and all the juices in at once?

Pro tip: cook the bacon in the pot first. Fish it out and saut the onions and peppers in the grease and dice/crumble the cooked bacon up. Then add it back with the other ingredients. That way you don't end up with chunks of unrendered bacon.

Wouldn't make it with anything other than clamato.
