Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 lb. dried pinto beans
3 qts. water, divided
3/8 lb. bacon, cut into 1-inch squares
1/4 c. plus 1 1/2 tsp. finely chopped garlic
3-4 T. chopped cilantro, divided
1/2 c. coarsely chopped white onion
1 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1 1/2 tsp. chili powder
3/4 T. salt
1 c. chopped Roma tomatoes

Steps:

  • Soak beans in 2 quarts of water for 8 hours. Drain and set aside. In a 1-gallon heavy pot, cook bacon until well done. Do not overcook or it will look raw in finished product. Add garlic, half of cilantro and onions to hot bacon and cook until onion is transparent, about 10 minutes. Add beans, cumin and chili powder. Stir and add remaining 1 qt. water. Turn heat to medium-low. Stir in . Cook beans slowly until fork tender, about 2 hours. Stir occasionally to avoid burning the bottom. Stir in tomatoes and remaining cilantro and heat through.

I love this recipe! The beans are so creamy and flavorful. I like to add a little bit of extra cheese and sour cream to make it even more delicious. I always make a big batch so I can have leftovers for the week.
