Homemade Pinto Beans...

Gather your ingredients

1 lbs. beans
8 c. water or more as needed
2 TBSP. Cumin
2 TBSP Garlic
2 TBSP. Knorr Pollo Powder
1 can of tomato sauce
1/2 onion diced
1/2 link andouille sausage

Let's get started

Clean and get rid of dirt rocks and broken beans first, then rinse the beans really good.

Place the pinto beans in a large pot add water and let them soak overnight they will expand (but you can cook them right away if you like), rinse one more time and discard the water, now place the clean beans in your pot with water add all the ingredients from above and bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-high, and continue cooking stirring occasionally, until beans are tender add water as needed to keep the beans moist I used a total of 12 cups of water but I like my beans juicy.

This is one way of making beans.

Following the same process as above but before add the Chipotle and bacon... to give it a different flavor...add bacon strips from the beginning of the cooking, I've even added sausage, chicharrones/pork skins the plain ones, Want to make them Charro Beans add Pico de Gallo to it at the end when they are done cooking or my favorite Borracho Beans in a medium pan add 1 tsp. oil add Pico de Gallo to the oil, sauté about 2 minutes add 1/12oz can of your favorite beer cook for a minute then add it to your cooked beans.

Cooking time 45 minutes (soaked overnight) or up to 2 hours depending if the beans are fresh or old mine where fresh the older the bean the longer they take to cook.

Cook until tender.
