New Mexico Pinto Beans
- add review
- #38316
ingredients
3 cups dry pinto beans
2 1/2 quarts water
1 ham bone (meaty)
OR
1/4 pound salt pork or bacon, cubed
1 teaspoon salt
directions
Wash and pick over the beans, removing loose skins or shriveled beans.
Put in a large covered pot and cover with hot water. Soak over night if you want to cut down on cooking time. When beans start to simmer add ham bone, salt pork or bacon. Add more water as needed but only hot or boiling water. Never add cold water the beans will turn dark. If you cook without a lid the beans will also turn a dark color.
When the skins are almost as tender as the inside of the beans, they are done. They should not be broken. Add salt and allow to stand before serving.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

I've made this twice for my family, and I'm making it again tomorrow. I use a ham bone from Honeybaked. (You can buy them separately for about $7 US, and they have lots of meat left on them.) The aroma fills up the whole house, it is hard to wait until they are finished. We serve them with cornbread and/or rice. Add hot sauce/cayenne to taste or leave it up to each person to spice up their own bowl. The recipe as written is extremely savory and tasty, but mild.
