This recipe is a crowd pleaser every time!
Ingredients
3 c. fresh Ness Farms Pinto Beans
4–6 whole garlic gloves
2 tbs. bacon drippings or cooking oil
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. fresh, ground pepper
Instructions
Step 1:
Cover beans with water over 2 inches.
Step 2:
In a large dutch oven or cooking pot, add all the ingredients and bring water to boil. REDUCE heat to a simmer, cover with a lid. Simmer, stirring occasionally and checking water level, for 45 minutes to 1 hour. If the water becomes level with the top of the beans, add 1 to 1 1/2 cups more water; continue cooking until beans are tender to the bite. Keeping the pinto beans mildly seasoned makes them versatile for other dishes.
Optional:
Are beans for a Tex Mex meal? Add 2 tsp. chili powder and 1 tsp. cumin with other ingredients prior to cooking.
