Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 pound dry pinto beans
½ pound bacon
4 serrano peppers

Steps:

  • Place the beans in a large pot with enough water to cover by 3 to 4 inches, and bring to a boil. Remove from heat, and let sit 1 hour. Drain water. Pour in enough fresh water to cover beans by 3 to 4 inches, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer 1 hour.
  • Place bacon in a skillet, and cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Crumble bacon, and transfer, along with grease, to the pot with the beans. Continue to cook beans on low heat for 30 minutes.

This recipe was a disaster. The beans were hard and the sauce was watery.

The beans were a bit bland. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. Next time I'll use less chili powder.

A great weeknight meal. The beans are hearty and filling, and the sauce is flavorful without being too spicy.

I love this recipe! The beans are always cooked perfectly and the sauce is flavorful and delicious. I often add some chopped cilantro and diced onions before serving.

This recipe was easy to follow and the beans turned out delicious. I didn't have any chipotle peppers in adobo, so I used smoked paprika instead. It gave the beans a nice smoky flavor.
