Bacon N Pinto Beans Recipes

Steps:

• In 4-quart saucepan or Dutch oven, cook bacon over medium-high heat until crisp. Drain on paper towels. Reserve 2 tablespoons drippings in saucepan.
• Stir in onions and garlic; cook over medium-high heat 5 to 8 minutes or until onion is softened.
• Add remaining ingredients except bacon; mix well. Reduce heat to medium; cook 18 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. Stir in all but 1/4 cup bacon. Crumble remaining bacon and sprinkle on top of beans. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In the bottom of a large pot over medium-high heat, brown bacon until golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in onion, celery, carrots, garlic and rosemary. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Drain beans and add to pot along with 1 tablespoon salt. Pour in enough water to just cover the beans (about 7 to 8 cups). Bring liquid to a boil; reduce heat and simmer gently until beans are just tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, in a small pot over medium heat, simmer wine until it is reduced to 2/3 cup, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Remove rosemary branches from bean pot and discard them. Pour wine into beans and bring to a simmer. Cook for 10 to 20 minutes longer to meld flavors and thicken broth to taste. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with Parmesan, if desired; add more salt and black or red pepper to taste.

Steps:

• Cover the beans with water in a heavy saucepan and bring to a boil, drain.
• Cover with water again, about 2" above the beans.
• Add all the remaining ingredients, except salt.
• Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered until the beans are very soft.
• add more water if necessary.
• Keep the beans submerged, takes approximately 3 1/2 hours.
• Season with salt to taste.
• If the beans are too liquid cool and sit overnight.
• Reheat to serve, stir frequently so the beans do not stick.

Steps:

• Soak the pinto beans in water overnight in a large mixing bowl.
• Drain the beans and set aside.
• In a dutch oven or other large vessel put the oil, onions, bacon, garlic and green chilies and cook over medium or medium-high heat until the onions are transparent and the edges of the onion have very lightly browned. Stir in the cumin powder.
• Add the beans and 6 cups water. Increase heat to high, bring liquid to a boil, decrease heat to medium or medium-low and cook until the beans are very tender, adding more water as needed. Add salt and black pepper to taste.
• I like to serve these beans in ramekins. They make a nice side dish to any Mexican meal.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, reserving 2 tablespoons of drippings, crumble and set aside in a large bowl. Cook the onion and garlic in the reserved drippings until onion is tender; drain excess grease and transfer to the bowl with the bacon.
• To the bacon and onions add pinto beans, northern beans, baked beans, kidney beans and garbanzo beans. Stir in ketchup, molasses, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard and black pepper. Mix well and transfer to a 9x12 inch casserole dish.
• Cover and bake in preheated oven for 1 hour.

Steps:

• Place pinto beans into a large pot and pour in enough water to cover by 2 to 3 inches. Let beans soak overnight.
• Drain beans, return to pot, and pour in fresh water to cover; add diced tomatoes, bacon, onion, chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 3 hours.
• Stir cilantro and salt into bean mixture; simmer until beans are soft, about 1 more hour.

Steps:

• Heat oil over medium-high. Add bacon, and cook, stirring often, until golden brown and almost crisp, about 3 minutes. Add scallion whites and cook, stirring, until softened, about 1 minute. Add pinto beans and water, and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Serve topped with scallion greens.
