Number Of Ingredients 10

60 ounces pinto beans
12 ounces diced bacon
1 medium white or yellow onion, diced
2 serranos, diced (or one 1 jalapeno)
3 cloves garlic, minced
28 ounces fire roasted tomatoes
6 cups chicken stock
2 bay leaves
2 sprigs epazote
1 handful cilantro

Discard bay leaves, stir in cilantro, and serve. Beans can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

BRAISED COLLARD GREENS AND BACON-PEPPER PINTO BEANS



Braised Collard Greens and Bacon-Pepper Pinto Beans image

We skip the meat main and make beloved Southern sides the focus of the meal-easy to do with a heap of garlicky braised greens and protein-packed pinto beans with a hit of crispy bacon. Serve with skillet cornbread: Heat a cast-iron skillet on the stovetop while the oven preheats, and swirl in a couple teaspoons oil to the pan before adding the batter. If you can't find collards, substitute stemmed curly kale or turnip greens, checking for doneness at around 20 minutes. For a vegetarian meal, sub vegetable stock for chicken stock and 1 tablespoon canola oil for the bacon drippings. Try this in Sautéed Snapper with Curried Greens and Smoky Potato and Greens Tacos.

2 tablespoons canola oil
11 garlic cloves, divided
3 cups vertically sliced yellow onion (from 1 large onion)

1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 (15-oz.) cans unsalted pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup chopped green onions
Hot sauce (optional)

Stir in 2 cups stock, sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and greens. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until very tender, about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in vinegar.

PINTO BEANS WITH PEACHES AND BACON



Pinto Beans With Peaches and Bacon image

Before you wonder off to your next stop online...hear me out on this one. I know it sounds strange. Taking our kids out for dinner is an adventure. We don't go out often, but when we do it's usually with family, so we at least have a 1 on 1 ratio at the table. We divide and conquer, which makes the whole dining experience a little easier...but they are still wiggly. "Get down from there." "Don't stare at their food. And stop complaining about the wait. We know you are hungry!" "Please stop 'falling' out of your chair." "Sit up, this is not our house and you can't lay on the seat." Those of you with littles...you've said these things before. I can't be alone in this. Our kids know how to sit still. But they are kids and their sitting still usually last no more than 5 minutes. They would just prefer to be in motion! One of the ways that we combat the wiggles at restaurants is by visiting restaurants with play areas. So far we have discovered several near us. We find ourselves frequenting these places, especially Two Bros. BBQ Market because it's super close to where we live. It's reasonably priced and we can feed our crew for less than most other restaurants! The first time I had their beans was at night and I was totally puzzled by them, as we were eating outside, it was dim and I couldn't tell by looking at them what was added. I could tell there was something mixed in, but couldn't place the flavor the first few bites. It was something sweet, but not to sweet. It was perfectly balanced with the spice from the sauce and the smokiness from the bacon. By the time I'd finished my portion of beans, I'd figured out that there were diced peaches mixed in with the beans and the bacon. Seriously, great (and clever) addition to the beans. The peaches are a tasty addition and a great balancer of the spice and smoke flavors! Here's a remake of their Pinto Beans with Peaches and Bacon y'all! (These would be great for a family BBQ, or to make at the start of the weekend and eat throughout the weekend with food from the grill!)
