Place a pan on medium heat and warm it up for a minute.

Add 8 pieces of chopped bacon to the pan and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until fully cooked; set aside.

In the same pan, fry chopped onions and jalapeños for 3 to 4 minutes until nicely fried.

If there's too much bacon fat, remove some before proceeding.

Add 1 pound of ground beef to the pan and cook for about 3 minutes until fully cooked.

Stir in 4 minced garlic cloves, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; mix well.

Add the 16 oz can of beans, 16 oz salsa verde, the green parts of the onion, a small bunch of cilantro, the cooked bacon, fried onions, jalapeños, and 16 oz of water to the pan; mix everything together.

Cook for another 10 minutes on medium heat until flavors meld together.
