Hearty Trail Beans Recipe

ingredients

2 pounds dry pinto beans, soaked overnight
2 yellow onions, diced
10 cups hot water
8 cloves garlic, minced
24 ounces cola
1 pound sliced smoked bacon, cut into 1" pieces
3/4 cup ketchup
6 tablespoons chili powder
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
3 serrano peppers, minced
1/4 cup thick steak sauce
4 teaspoons toasted caraway seeds, ground
1 can (30 ounce size) whole tomatoes

directions

Add all ingredients to a 12" deep Dutch oven. Bring to a boil using 18-20 briquettes bottom, stirring beans frequently.

Cover beans and continue to simmer using 6-8 briquettes bottom and 12-14 briquettes top for 2-3 hours. Stir beans from the bottom up every 15 minutes.

Add additional water if beans begin to dry out. Beans should be soft but not mushy and just a bit soupy.
