12 qt. Pot
4 lbs Pinto beans soaked overnight
2 yellow onions diced
2 bulbs fresh garlic finely chopped (yes, 2 bulbs, not cloves)
5-10 fresh jalapeños finely chopped
2 tbsp ground cumin
2 tbsp dried oregano
4 tbsp salt
2 tbsp ground black pepper
2 lbs bacon, raw, small pieces
Everything in pan at once. Top by 1” with water
Cover and cook 3-4 hours on low heat until desired doness of beans. Some like more firm beans. Cook off any remaining unwanted liquid.
You can cut this all in half obviously, but I go bigger and freeze two meal portions in food saver bags to be used with future bbq'd meats and such
Edit: bacon optional.
