List of Ingredients



• 1 pound dried pinto beans
  
• 2 1/2 cups cold water
  
• 1/2 pound bacon
  
• 1 medium onion, chopped
  
• 1/2 cup picante sauce
  
• 1 teaspoon salt
  
• 1 clove garlic, minced
  
• 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
  






Instructions



1. Thoroughly wash and pick over the beans ( be sure to get out all those little pieces of gravel).
   
2. Put beans in a mixing bowl.
   
3. Drown them real good with cold water and let them soak overnight.
   
4. In the morning, pour the beans and water into a well seasoned dutch iven and bring them to a good boil, then turn the heat down some.
   
5. Put the lid on and simmer the beans for about an hour (this is a good time to have breakfast).
   
6. After breakfast, stir all the other ingredients in and simmer them covered for about 3 hours, or until tender.
   
7. Don't let them cook dry, so add more water if necessary.
   
8. This should serve 8, but I'll let you in on a little cowboy secret. They are much better when served a day or so later.
