Add Step-by-Step Photos	Notyourmomma / All my dishes 2 years, 5 months ago Dad#2 had spring training in AZ and we would frequent a fun restaurant where gentlemen who wore a tie in the place risked getting it cut off and tacked to the ceiling. It was fun but the food was better, big ribeyes and cowpoke pintos on metal plat... More Prep:1440m Cook:240m Servings:8	Notyourmomm

Ingredients

1 lb. of dried pintos picked over and soaked overnight

1 can of beer

14.5 oz can of Rotel tomatoes and green chilies *pick your heat tolerance, I use the hot*

2 medium onions chopped

4 big cloves of garlic

3 slices of bacon (thick cut butcher's quality)

2 tablespoons of chili powder

2 tablespoon of Worchestershire sauce

1 tablespoon of ground cumin

1/2 tablespoon of chipotle powder

1 teaspoon of salt (or more to taste)

Directions

Soak beans overnight.

Discard water. Dump beans in large pot.

Add 8 cups of water.

Add all the other ingredients except the salt.

Bring to boil over high heat and then reduce to a low simmer.

Cook slowly, stirring up from the bottom for at least 2 hours could take up to 4 hours.

Add water or more beer if the beans get too thick.

They are done when they just barely hold their shape and the whole mess is a little bit soupy

Serve in soup bowls with the broth.

Add-ins that are very good:

1/2 before cooking time is up, add in 1/2 lb. of chopped smoked pork and 1/2 cup of favored barbecue sauce. *or*

1 smoked sausage sliced into discs and a generous dash of peppered vinegar..

Really good with cornbread on the side. And of course, charcoal grilled ribeyes wouldn't be bad either.

Gosh, this looks good. I love beans of every kind and this is going into my recipe file. A nice Amber beer would make these extra tasty. And of course, several for the cook.

My dinner tonight. I like my beans more bean-y than soupy so I only used 6 cups of water and the beer. Which was probably OK as I could only find a 10 oz. can of Rotel. After the beans were done, I took out the strips of bacon and took off the fat and put the bacon back in. I also took two cups of beans and mashed them, put them back in, took the lid off and let it boil for 25 minutes (while Zena's skillet cornbread cooked) to get it even thicker. It was really delicious and filling. I had this saved since you posted it. :) Thanks!

Oh, I love the alterations and the idea of mashing some and adding them back to the pot is inspired. Thanks for the nice review, dear. How nice.
