CHUCK WAGON PINTO BEANS
My husband doesn't care for beans but he really enjoyed these. Recipe is easy to make and reminded me of cooking a pot of beans over an open fire while camping. You can modify to your personal taste, for example, if you prefer ham flavor rather than ground beef; no salt; add a little more red pepper for more heat; etc. Hope you enjoy the recipe. Recipe is a modified version of a County Line BBQ recipe.

Steps:
- Clean beans by rinsing. Place beans in 4 qrt. pan, cover beans with water, bring to a boil and turn off the stove. Soak for one hour. As beans soften and expand, add more water to cover, if needed.
- While beans are soaking, cook ground beef on stove until browned. Drain grease, remove ground beef from pan and pat with paper towel to absorb any extra grease. Set aside.
- Drain the bean's soak water (leave the bean residue on bottom of pan) and again, add enough water to fully cover.
- Add all remaining ingrediants and stir together.
- Cook on low to medium heat (low, slow boil), stirring every so often, for 2 to 3 hours or until beans are done to your preferred tenderness.
- Just before serving, add a sprinkle of grated sharp cheddar cheese on top.

CHUCK WAGON PINTO BEANS
taken from......Easy recipes for Chuck Wagon Cooking.....Dried beans were a staple on the trail. Sometimes the 'cookie' varied the standard onion-and-chile-flavored beans with a little bit of sweetening.
