Cowpoke Beans-Pinnacle Peak
From notyourmomma 16 years ago
- 240 minutes to make
- Serves 8
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 plates. Read more Romaine salad with parmesan dressing. The beans were my favorite part of the meal (well watching Dad lose his tie to the ceiling was fun too - when you are 12) See less
Ingredients
- 1 lb. of dried pintos picked over and soaked overnight shopping list
- 1 can of beer shopping list
- 14.5 oz can of rotel tomatoes and green chilies *pick your heat tolerance, I use the hot* shopping list
- 2 medium onions chopped shopping list
- 4 big cloves of garlic shopping list
- 3 slices of bacon (thick cut butcher's quality) shopping list
- 2 tablespoons of chili powder shopping list
- 2 tablespoon of Worchestershire sauce shopping list
- 1 tablespoon of ground cumin shopping list
- 1/2 tablespoon of chipotle powder shopping list
- 1 teaspoon of salt (or more to taste) shopping list
How to make it
- 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.

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...more
