Chuck Wagon Pinto Beans
Ingredients
Instructions
- Clean beans by rinsing. Place beans in 4 qrt. pan, cover beans with water, bring to a boil and turn off the stove. Soak for one hour. As beans soften and expand, add more water to cover, if needed.
- While beans are soaking, cook ground beef on stove until browned. Drain grease, remove ground beef from pan and pat with paper towel to absorb any extra grease. Set aside.
- Drain the bean's soak water (leave the bean residue on bottom of pan) and again, add enough water to fully cover.
- Add all remaining ingrediants and stir together.
- Cook on low to medium heat (low, slow boil), stirring every so often, for 2 to 3 hours or until beans are done to your preferred tenderness.
- Just before serving, add a sprinkle of grated sharp cheddar cheese on top.
