Pinto Beans

[Slick8]

Wow this thread is all over the place like a hot blond in a white jeep trying to dress a deer with a belly full of pea gravel behind the Wal-Mart parking lot.

Smart to the rescue.

I'll echo what smart has said, his cooking style is similar to mine.

It's really simple-here's the basics
Pinto beans, dried
Salt and pepper
Chilli powder
Onion
Garlic
Paprika-gives a nice red color
Sugar-the above will be little bitter, I use brown sugar
Rotel tomatoes
Jalapeno or other favorite peppers
Bacon or salt pork-fry before adding to soup and add the grease.

Here's a few things I add and are all optional. This is the ultimate cook to taste meal. This is a favorite among family and friends of mine.

Cumin
Anhco chilli powder and dried ancho papers.
Brown onions, garlic, ancho and jalapenos in oil or bacon grease and add to soup
Chicken stock mixed with water 50-50
Liquid smoke- I make mine from brisket drippings and freeze in 1/4 cup containers.

I'm actually making a lot today. Here it is about an hour into cooking. I'll post a bowl later today.

^^^ Two slices are just for a pound of beans. I add salt and garlic cloves to season the beans. Once cooked, these beans can be used for any bean recipe.

Too said beans for making ranchero beans I would add lots of bacon. Bacon is cooked and drained, then onions, jalapeños/seranos are cooked to tender. Cooked beans are added in pot and salt is adjusted to taste. Towards the end I add chopped tomatoe and whole cilantro with stems so it can be removed. That is the basic ranchero style recipe.

I like to add sausage which almost makes a meal out of the beans.

This is how mine starts out... 2lb of dried beans washed, chunk onion, two large diced japs, 12oz of salt pork sliced into pieces, various spices, some bouillon cubes and let er absorb it all.. No pre-soak or anything.




This is towards the end right before the flour is added to thicken. cant find any pics of them post flour with the creamy base. I need to snap some of those next time
