Ingredients

  • 1 TB olive oil
  • 1 white onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1 bag dried pinto beans - rinsed, sorted through, and boiled until soft, rinsed again
  • 15 oz. {about 3 on the vine} tomatoes, chopped
  • 2 chipotle peppers and some adobe sauce {more depending on how spicy you like it}
  • 2 TB Dijon mustard
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 TB molasses
  • 2 TB apple cider vinegar
  • 1 bottle of GOOD beer - play with the flavors a bit - I like an IPA
  • Kosher salt
  • Black pepper infused with chipotle

Preparation

Step 1

In the bottom of a large pot, heat olive oil over moderate heat. Saute onions and garlic about 4 minutes.

Add the rest of the ingredients, stir, raise heat, and let come to a boil. Reduce heat to low and continue to simmer 3-4 hours. Check seasonings before serving.

If using a slow cooker, follow the same directions, but transfer onions and garlic to your pre-heated slow cooker crock. Then add other ingredients, stir, and cover. Cook on low 4 hours or high for 2.
