These are my "famous" beans....if you've ever come to my house for our carne asada nights, you've had these beans. They are super easy to make and always a big hit. They also freeze really well. This makes a big batch, so there's always leftovers and they taste even better the next day. I love refried beans, too, but these are the beans I usually make to go with Carnitas and Carne Asada.....they are delicious by themselves with some sour cream...mmmmm....or in a burrito...really, I've seen my friends eat them in some very creative ways...lol
The "Famous" Beans
1 white onion, diced
6 cloves of garlic, minced
1 pound bacon, cut into small pieces
2-14.5 oz cans diced tomatoes
1 giant can pinto beans (108 oz. Teasdale Brand is my favorite, but you can use any canned pinto beans) If you can't find the giant can, get 6-16oz cans of beans)
1-4oz can diced green chiles (HOT)
1 tsp black pepper
2 tsp salt
1 tbsp garlic powder
Saute onion and garlic about 5 minutes. Add bacon and saute until completely cooked.
Add remaining ingredients. Let simmer at least 30 minutes, but the longer, the better. Yesterday, I made these and I brought it to a light simmer for the first 30 minutes, then I turned it on low until we were ready to serve, which was about 5 hours....they just get better!
