Directions Kerry's Basic Brown Beans
Directions
-
Place rinsed and sorted pinto beans in a large pot. Cover with 6 cups of water. Bring to a boil, boil for 2 minutes. Turn off heat and let beans sit for 1 hour.
Drain beans, rinse, and return to the pot. Add chicken broth and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until beans are tender and cooked, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Add additional water if needed.
While beans are cooking, place oil and 1/2 of the chopped onion in a skillet. Saute over medium-low heat for 5 minutes. Add green chiles and garlic and saute until onion is soft and translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside. Add mixture to beans after about 1 hour of cooking. Season with salt and pepper.
Serve in bowls topped with Cheddar cheese, remaining onion, and jalapeno.
