Open can, dump in to pan, add salt and pepper, then serve.


When my wife cooks pinto's she'll add a can of rotel and a hamhock or bacon.

I usually let them cook just in maybe a little chicken stock for most of the time. Then with about 2 hours left, I sautee onion and green peppers (as much as you want - I usually add a big onion and a big pepper) then add near the end cilanto, and a little cumin then toss that in the pot for the rest of the time. You can add jalepeno or serrano peppers to the mix but be careful using those in a crockpot as the slow cooking intensifies the heat. Also, you might add some bacon to the sautee.

I generally soak them then put them in the crock pot in about an inch of water. I add about half an onion, two pounds of cajun smoked sausage, a green bell pepper, several cloves of garlic and salt and pepper to taste. Cook them like you normally do in the crock pot and serve over long grain rice.

Borracho Beans

Ingredients:
3 cups of pinto beans
3 quarts of water
1 lb. bacon or 1 ham hock
2 medium onion
3 roma tomatoes
1 cup celantro
2 serrano peppers
4 garlic cloves
2 beers
salt/pepper to taste.

Instructions:

Sort through the beans. Look for small rocks and debris.
Place in a large bowl and rinse several times. Lift beans out by hand into a clean bowl of water. Do not pour beans as there will be sand and debris at the bottom of rinse bowl.

Fill bowl with water and soak overnight.

Boil about 3 quarts of water and add beans. If you are cooking on a stove it should take about 3 hours.

If you are too busy to babysit a pot of beans, use a crock pot. Three cups of beans for a large crock pot, two cups of beans for a smaller crock pot.

Add boiling water as needed. If using ham hock add now.

When the beans are light brown and soft, add salt/pepper, garlic, serrano peppers. Cut bacon and fry along with the onions. Add to beans. Last add the celantro and fresh tomatoes.

Traditional Borracho Ranch Style Beans:

Pinto Beans (Small bag)
1 Onion (finely chopped down with a food processor to liquid or very close)
2-3 Cloves of garlic (chopped down with the onion)
1 Small Green Bell Pepper (chopped down with the onion) **Optional**
1-5 Serrano Peppers (Or jalapeno) whole or sliced, depending on how spicy you like it
2-3 Large tomatoes cut in 4 sections
1 LB of pork salt cut in cubes (There is no real substitute)
1 Small can of tomato sauce
2-3 Tbl spoons of Chicken Knorr & Tomato Knorr (Has plenty of salt)
1-2 Tbl spoons of ground comino (Cumin)
1 Beer (Added 3/4 thru cooking time)
1-2 Fist fulls of Cilantro (Added at the final hour)
Line bottom of pot with olive or corn oil, not to much though.
Keep water level above the beans, check it every 1-2 hours.

At the beginning bring to a boil then reduce to simmer (Very Low) usually takes 4-6 hours to cook. You can soak the beans for a few hours prior but not always necessary.

This recipe should only be used if you like real traditional stuff, if you eat at Taco Bell then don't bother, you ain't worthy....
