Sausage & Bean Glop (Taco Bell inspired)

Looking around for a snack... Can of refried beans. Mmm beans.

Wish I had Taco Bell, the mexican pizza, but can't eat dairy or salt. Also I still avoid restaurants due to Covid. Also it's 8 AM Saturday morning and I want something NOW.

Yeah, it's not pretty, hence the glop nomenclature. Taco Bell makes it pretty with melty cheese, but let me tell you, this is better! I did this on-the-fly after pondering that can of refried beans:

Let's try this:

• 1 lb. hot bulk sausage
• 2 tsp. beef bullion paste
• 1 14 oz. can refried beans with chiles
• 1 diced white onion
• 4 cloves diced garlic
• 1 tbsp chili powder
• 1 tbsp cumin
• 1 tsp oregano
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp ground chipotle
• 1 tbsp low sodium bacon bits
• 1 4oz. packet Daiya zesty cheddar cheese sauce
• 1 small can Hatch green chiles
• 2 small diced tomato
• Zest and juice of one lime
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 dash Worcestershire sauce

Simmer and serve with salsa and green onion

This tastes like GREAT fake mexican Taco Bell goodness, and it's not totally unhealthy.

Enjoy as a dip with corn chips. I froze it into small batches for snackytimes.

Add a chopped fried egg for extra credit. Very satisfying!
