    List of Ingredients




    1 pound pinto beans
    1/2 pound black beans
    1/2 pound red beans
    6 cups chopped onions
    2 teaspoons dried epazote or 2 tablespoons fresh epazote, chopped
    3 strips bacon, diced large
    2 cubes chicken bouillon
    2 teaspoons pepper
    3 tablespoons chili powder
    1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    1 whole head of garlic

    Recipe



    Rinse beans and pick out debris or any beans that are shriveled. Pour into a large bowl and add water to cover. Soak overnight. Pour off soaking liquid.

    Place drained beans in a large stockpot or Dutch oven. Add enough water to cover by 2 inches. Stir in 4 cups of the onion, epazote, bacon, chicken bouillon cubes, pepper, chili powder and cayenne. Cut off the end of the garlic pod and pull off white paper-like layer. Leave unpeeled cloves attached to root end. Add to bean pot. Bring liquid to a boil over high heat. Lower heat and simmer, covered, for 2 to 3 hours, until beans are tender.

    Add remaining 2 cups onion and cook 2 to 3 hours longer, covered. Add more liquid if necessary. Cook until beans are quite soft. Adjust seasoning to taste.

    Makes 12 servings.
