Ingredients

  • 6 tinned jalapenos (You can cut back on the heat by seeding and devaining the chilies.)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 2 lbs pinto beans, sorted,washed,soaked overnight
  • 1/2 lb salt pork, cubed 1 x 1 x 1/4 inch
  • 2 medium onions, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Method

  • Drain and rinse the beans.
  • Place the beans in a crock pot set on low, cover with water.
  • Add everything else.
  • Cook overnight.
  • Add any salt that is needed.
  • (Don't salt at the beginning because of the salt pork.) Serve.
  • These freeze well and are even better when reheated.
  • I had to cut this recipe in half to get it to fit my crock pot.
