Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound(s) dried pinto beans, soaked overnight
8 cup(s) water
12 ounce(s) coca cola
1 14-oz can(s) whole tomatoes
1 1/2 medium onions, chopped
1/4 cup(s) barbecue sauce (tomato-based)
2 slice(s) slab bacon, chopped
3 tablespoon(s) chili powder
2 tablespoon(s) worcestershire sauce
4 clove(s) garlic, minced
3 - serrano chiles, minced (or 2-3 jalapenos)
2 teaspoon(s) cumin seeds, toasted and ground
1 teaspoon(s) salt, or to taste

Steps:

  • In a Dutch oven or heavy stockpot, combine all the ingredients except the salt.
  • Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer.
  • Cook slowly, stirring up from the bottom occasionally, for at least 2 hours, adding more water if the beans begin to seem dry.
  • Stir in the salt in the last few minutes of cooking.
  • The beans should hold their shape but be soft and just a little soupy. Serve them in bowls with a bit of the cooking liquid.
