Here are the beans my dad taught me how to make many moons ago at the ranch. What you'll need: bag of pintos, favorite bacon, cilantro, 3 x serrano peppers, 2 x tomatoes, onion of choice, salt, minced garlic, and can of beer.
Take the pintos, sift to get the bad ones out, finely chop cilantro, cut off the stems of the serranos, chop up onion, cut bacon into about 1" pieces, quarter tomatoes, beer and add all this along with the garlic and salt to taste to your clay bean pot ( if you do not have a clay bean pot you can use a regular pot but watch the water level as you may have to add more), put the burner on high for 1 1/2 hrs then drop down to medium for another 1 1/2 hrs ( 3 hrs total). Enjoy and you also have left overs for fresh refried beans for breakfast.
