1st let me say that i'm not a big fan of pinto beans but having said that i decided to try a recipe i found for pinto beans
and oh my lord are they good ... when i 1st saw this recipe i thought i must have read it wrong, but here is the recipe for the best pinto beans ( I ) have ever eaten,
it starts out with 2 pots of strong black coffee ( yes you read that right ) make the coffee and pour it into your pot ( i used a cast iron dutch oven ) then add 1 lb of DRIED pinto beans , then add in 1/2-3/4 lb lean beef
( i used a serloin steak that i had ) cut into cubes then add 3 tablespoons chili powder , 1 tablespoon cyanne powder , i teaspoon onion powder and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder , 1/2 teaspoon powdered smoke then salt and black pepper to your taste
cook this on your stove top until the beans and meat are very tender ( several hours ) adding plain water as it cooks down
my wife thought i was nuts when she watched me making this but after eating it she told me that i'm in charge of making pinto beans from now on !!
when i saw this this recipe and read the word "coffee " at first i thought it was crazy then i thought why not try it !!
i'm so glad i did , .........you might read this and think its kinda crazy too ( i did ) but man is it good !!!!
