Ingredients
- 4 strips bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1/2 medium white onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 cups pinto beans, soaked overnight, drained
Directions
Heat a cast-iron pot over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook for 5 minutes. Add the onion and saute until beginning to soften and become translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Add the beans and 5 cups water to the pot, stirring to combine. Bring the beans to a boil, reduce the heat and cover. Cook over medium-low heat until the beans are tender, about 2 hours. Adjust the seasoning, if necessary.

I have never made pinto beans so I decided to give it a try. Great aroma in the home, this recipe is very economical. This bean dish is different flavor than my traditional navy bean (baked bean recipe. For the first time I make a new recipe I make it exact as recipe says. So flavorful and Texas style. Love the flavor great with dogs, grilled beer brats. Eat as a side or to top off a meat. Have made many of PW recipes and have not been disappointed.
