Drunken Beans 02 – Bean Cereals Food Recipes

Recipe ingredients and directions:

Drunken Beans

1 1/4 cups dried pinto beans or 2 14-ounce cans pinto beans, rinsed and drained

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

3 slices bacon, chopped

1 large onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, crushed

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon chili powder or 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano

14-ounce can chopped tomatoes, drained

3/4 cup light beer

3/4 cup water

salt and freshly ground black pepper

If using dried beans, place in a large saucepan or bowl. Add enough

water to cover and soak the beans overnight, then cook according

to the instructions on the package. Drain the beans and discard

the cooking water.

In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the

bacon and cook for 3 minutes. Add the onion, garlic, cumin, chili

powder, and oregano; cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion

is tender, about 10 minutes. Add the beans, tomatoes, beer and

water and mix well. Season with salt and pepper to taste and bring

to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer

for 30 minutes.

Remove the lid, stir well, and simmer an additional 20 minutes or

until there is very little liquid left. Season to taste with salt

and pepper. Serve hot.
