(2) 27 oz cans of pinto beans
1 white onion (coarsely chopped)
2 medium tomatoes (coarsely chopped)
4 Serrano peppers (coarsely chopped w/seeds)
1/2 bunch cilantro (finely chopped)
4 strips of bacon
2 3/4 cups clamato juice
1 tsp of each - salt, pepper, Tony's
Dash of whatever beer you're drinking



Add tbsp of oil to pot and onion. Soften the onion on medium heat for 3-4 minutes. Then cut up the bacon and add. Brown the bacon amongst onions for 3-4 minutes.



Now add the beans (drained), all remaining vegetables, salt/pepper, and the clamato juice. Stir and bring to boil.

Reduce heat after a few minutes, cover, and cook on simmer for another 50 minutes.



Done.



Very quick way to cook a pot of beans and they taste better than most dry bean recipes I've had.

Seems like a decent way to spice up some canned beans.

What about doing some dried pintos?

That would work too. This way is fast and pretty darn good though. I've never tried it with dried ones yet.

I may try dried using your ingredients, just different steps. Seems like it would be delicious. Thanks for the idea

The bacon still looks raw?

It's just not browned.

The salt level in canned beans are high IMO

I would eat the shite out of that but I too am curious how it would come out with fresh beans. Looks good either way

I have never had them with canned beans, but the pinto beans my grandmother makes are amazing and she uses fresh beans. It pretty much an all day deal though, you have to soak them in water for a while and then simmer for 4 hours or so once all the ingredients are added. OP's look pretty good for only an hour cook time though.

Grandma must be using dried beans if they need all that soaking.

Fresh ones will be ready to pick in this area soon. I usually try to buy a bunch in June; cook some and freeze some. The frozen ones keep pretty good even without parboiling them.

I made this last week, just polished off the rest of the leftovers. Only difference was I used 2 jalapenos instead of the Serrano peppers. VERY GOOD!

Thanks for the recipe.
