Tex-Mex Bean Bake with Cornbread Topping image

I frequently cooked this dish when I was on the cross-country team in college. We loved this veggie-packed bake so much I would have to make two! For a meaty version, substitute shredded chicken for half of the potato. -Samantha Westveer, Kentwood, Michigan

Time 2h15m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

1 1/2 lbs dry pinto beans
3/4 lb hickory smoked bacon

1 tablespoon cumin powder
1 tablespoon chili powder (not a blend)
1 1/2 tablespoons salt

8 cups water

Steps:

  • Wash and clean the beans, then bring them to a boil in 4 cups of water.
  • Cook them for 2 minutes, remove from the stove, cover and let them sit for an hour.
  • In a skillet, toast the cumin and chile powder over a medium high heat until they become fragrant (takes seconds).
  • Put the spices aside and rinse the skillet.
  • Cook the bacon in the skillet, saving the fat.
  • Remove the bacon and add the onions and garlic, and saute them for a minute.

  • Add more water if necessary.
  • Start checking the beans every 15 minutes for doneness.
  • To thicken the liquid, reduce it by cooking longer, or mash some of the beans.
