Ingredients

4 strips bacon
¾ cup chopped onion
¾ cup chopped celery
1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
½ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon chili powder
⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
1 (14.5 ounce) can Swanson® Chicken Broth
¼ cup prepared salsa, hot or mild
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
½ cup Mexican cheese blend, shredded
4 ounces tortilla strips

Steps:

Place bacon in a large saucepan and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels; crumble.
Saute onion and celery in reserved bacon drippings over medium-high heat until tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in beans, crumbled bacon, oregano, chili powder, and garlic powder. When beans have softened, add Swanson® Chicken Broth and salsa. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer covered until flavors have blended, about 15 minutes.
Garnish with cilantro and cheese. Serve with tortilla strips.
