- In a 4-qt saucepan over medium heat, saute/fry the bacon till almost crisp. Add in the garlic and saute/fry till the bacon is crisp, 2 to 3 min. Using a slotted spoon, remove the bacon and garlic to a plate. Pour off all but 1 Tbsp. of the bacon fat. Pour the bean puree into the pan and add in the bacon mix and oregano.
