Ingredients

  • 1 pound dried pinto beans
  • 2 whole tomatoes, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 white onion, diced
  • 1 pickled jalapeno, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 fresh bay leaves
  • 1 tablespoon dried Mexican oregano
  • 12 ounces dark beer
  • 2 quarts water
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Wash the beans thoroughly in cold water, discarding any stones or rotten beans.

Place the beans in a wide, short saucepot (rondeau), and cover with water by 2 inches. Cook for 30 minutes, and then, add the tomatoes, onions, jalapeno, garlic, bay leaves, oregano, and beer. Cook until the beans are tender, about another 30 minutes.

With a potato masher, crush the beans, to thicken the bean liquid. Adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper.

    Tasty but modified

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    When i first saw 1 hour cook time, i laughed because i come from a mexican family and no way they come out ready in 1 hour. I... also used rotella instead of tomatoes and used 2 raw jalapenos. I also used corona instead of dark beer and added cut up bacon, cut up hot dogs, pork cracklings and chorizo to it and used a crock pot and let them marry each other. in 5 hours perfect bliss and rave reviews.Read more

    Yummy legumes.

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    I made these in my slow cooker. There is no way to cook a dry pinto bean to an edible state in one hour unless you use a... pressure cooker. These beans were excellent, but I cooked them for about five hours, on cinco de mayo. My guest wanted to know what state the beans started in and I told her dried. She was very surprised that only after five hours they were tender and ready to eat.Read more

    Soak the beans!

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    The flavor was delicious, but in no way are the beans done in one hour from a dry state on the stove. I recommend allowing... more time for the beans to simmer (2+ hours) in the beer/broth. Also, I had a ham hock in the freezer and threw that in--yum!--and I used Rotel tomatoes/chilies combination (mild).Read more

    Easy and tasty, plus they make the kitchen smell great while they're cooking! Try them in a slow cooker for a no-fuss meal.
