Bam's Pinto and Refried Beans

For Bryan. This is really two recipes, as you can make refried beans out of your leftover pintos. Serve with cornbread, fried potatoes, or rice and top with salsa and cheese for a meatless Tex-Mex dish.

Ingredients


Preparation

Place the rinsed and sorted beans in a lidded stockpot and cover with water about 3 inches above the level of the beans. Add the salt and cook on low covered almost all day (at least 6 hours), stirring and checking water levels occasionally. If they get too dry, boil water to add - NEVER ADD COLD WATER - it will make the beans hard. When the beans start getting a nice, slightly thickened broth, add the remaining seasonings and onion, if desired. Cook an additional half an hour or until the onion is soft. See notes to make refried beans from your leftover pintos.

I followed the recipe but I made a little adjustment. When boiling, I added salt pork and it made such a difference in taste when I finally removed it and fried it on the pan. Salt pork that's the ticket.

For more flavor, you can add some meat, such as ham or bacon or smoked sausage during the last hour of cooking.

To make refried beans, remove beans from juice to a bowl. Mash the beans with a potato masher until you get the desired consistancy. Fry a strip or two of bacon in a non-stick skillet.Remove bacon and transfer the beans to the skillet. Fry the beans on medium heat turning often with a spatula until they reach the desired consistancy and are heated through. Top with grated cheese just prior to serving or spoon into warmed flour tortillas, top with cheese and any other toppings you like - onions, salsa, green chilies, etc., roll up, and eat.
