1 (16 ounce) bag dry pinto beans, soaked in water overnight
1 (32 ounce) carton chicken broth
12 ounces beer (regular, not light, dark or amber is better)
1/2 lb thick sliced pepper bacon, chopped and cooked (I use slightly more)
5 fresh garlic cloves, chopped
1 white onion, chopped
4 -5 jalapenos, seeded and chopped
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 tablespoon fresh coarse ground black pepper

Steps:

Soak beans overnight in water, drain when ready to cook.
In large pot, add beans, chicken broth, beer, cooked chopped bacon, and enough water to cover the beans by about an inch.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer 2-3 hours.
Once beans start to get soft, add garlic, onion, jalapenos, chili powder, cumin, 1 tbs coarse black pepper, and salt.
Simmer another 30 minutes or so.
Add the packet of ham seasoning, tomatoes, and cilantro; taste and add more coarse ground black pepper and salt to taste.
Simmer another 30 minutes.
