Frijoles de Loya (Pinto Beans)

By RoketJSquerl

Ingredients

• 1 Pound Pinto Beans
• 1/2 Onion, skin removed
• 2 Cloves Garlic, peeled
• 3 Cups Beef Stock
• 1 Tablespoon Salt
• 2 Strips Bacon, fried and cut into small pieces (optional)
• Water

Preparation

Step 1

Go through beans very thoroughly to ensure there are not any little pebbles in them, and wash thoroughly. Place beans, onion, garlic, salt, bacon, and beef stock into a large heavy stock pot (about 6 quarts, the beans really expand a ton).

Add enough water to the pot to cover the beans by a couple inches. Place on stove and bring to a boil, turn heat down to a simmer and let cook until tender, about 3 hours. As beans are cooking just add more water to ensure they are covered. When beans are nice and tender strain and serve.
