    Editor's Note: Ranch Style Beans

    Many cowboy soup recipes are made with canned ranch style beans. This delicious ingredient is popular in Texas, and it's basically a type of seasoned beans. Ranch style beans are usually pinto beans, and they come in a rich seasoned chili sauce that adds ton of flavor.

    This recipe doesn't call for pre-seasoned beans, but it does include plenty of seasoning to make up for it. Chili powder, cumin, garlic, and bacon all add tons of flavor to this soup recipe, so you're getting all the delicious flavor of ranch style beans without having to hunt down an ingredient that might be hard to find in your area.
