TEXAS-STYLE SLOW-COOKED FRIJOLES



Texas-Style Slow-Cooked Frijoles image

Pinto beans are slowly cooked to perfection with smoked bacon, jalapenos, and cilantro. This is an easy recipe I learned from my friend's grandmother in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico. This recipe can be adjusted to taste and is a dietary staple in south Texas. Great for barbecues and potlucks! Make sure the beans are covered by liquid at all times. The longer you cook it, the better it is. Serve with flour tortillas or as a side dish in bowls.

SLOW-COOKED, TEXAS-STYLE BEEF BRISKET



Slow-Cooked, Texas-Style Beef Brisket image

This slow-cooker recipe comes directly from the heart of a wonderful Texas cook who makes the best brisket in the world! Yay, Papa Louis! He shared it with me years ago, via my sister (his daughter-in-law). I change it from time to time by adding ingredients to make it more Mexican (serve it with tortillas), or leave it as is and serve it with fresh rolls.
