Time 8h2m

Yield 9 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 cups dried pinto beans
1 large onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon cumin or 1/2 teaspoon comino
1 piece bacon or 1 piece ham
1 teaspoon sugar
water

Steps:

  • The night before, put the beans in the pot you will use, and fill the pot to the top with water.
  • In the morning, drain the water.
  • Add fresh water, to a height of 4# over the beans.
  • Add the pork, onion, garlic, and seasonings.
  • Simmer on low on the stove all day, or in a crockpot.
  • You may need to add water.
  • The beans are done when they are soft if you smoosh one between you finger and thumb.
  • It won't hurt them to cook longer, because even if they get mooshy they have their uses!
  • If you should burn the beans, immediately drain them and switch to a new pot with new water.
  • Add one raw potato, cut in half, to the beans.
  • When the beans are done toss the potato, because the burnt taste will be in it.
