Feijão tropeiro is a traditional Brazilian dish that combines beans with sausage, bacon, and collard greens, creating a hearty and flavorful meal.

This dish has its origins in the state of Minas Gerais, where it was a staple for the tropeiros, or cattlemen, who needed a nutritious and filling meal during their long journeys.

To make feijão tropeiro, start by cooking the beans until they are tender. In a separate pan, fry the sausage and bacon until they are crispy. Sauté onions, garlic, and collard greens, then mix everything together with the beans and cassava flour.

For a personal touch, you can add other ingredients like eggs or different types of sausage to suit your taste.

Feijão tropeiro is typically served as a main dish, often accompanied by rice and a slice of orange to balance the rich flavors.

While this dish is delicious, it is also quite rich and should be enjoyed in moderation, especially if you are watching your calorie intake or trying to reduce your fat consumption.
