Sinse I have some leftover cornbread, I figured this would go nicely with it for lunch.

Ingredients

  1. (3) Cups Pinto Beans
  2. (8) Cups Water
  3. (6) Strips Bacon (Fried, chopped and grease reserved for soup)
  4. (2) Cups Beef Broth
  5. (1/2) Onion Chopped
  6. (1) Jalapeno deseeded and diced
  7. (2) Cloves Garlic Minced

  10. (1/2) Tsp Ground Cumin
  11. (1/2) Tsp Pepper
  12. (1/2) Tsp Chili Powder
  13. (1/4) Tsp Cayenne Pepper

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Soak Beans overnight in a large pot no heat.

  2. 2

    The next day, bring beans to boil on low, covered. Cook how ever long it takes to soften them. Usually 2 to 3 hours. Checking water every so often to make sure it has enough to cover beans by about 2 inches.

  3. 3

    When beans are tender, I pour the beans and liquid into a bowl,set aside and clean the pot. (I just dont like the goopy residue on pot)

  4. 4

    Pour beans and liquid back into pot, turn heat to low.

  5. 5

    Add ALL remaining ingredients to pot. Including bacon and reserved bacon grease. Liquid should be 2 or so inches above beans.

  6. 6

    Cover, simmer on low for 1 hour. Stiring every 15 minutes.

  7. 7

    When done top with whatever you wish and Enjoy!

. Check out my recipes as I add them. I bake, cook many types of food and I love to Smoke beef and pork. I use an offset wood smoker with an Bluetooth digital thermometer. If im feeling lazy I just go to my son's house and use his Traeger Grill. 😁 Fire and forget is boring LoL but yummy also. As the saying goes, " It's hot, brown and lots of it". I'm also working on a small cookbook for family. ❤️
