CLASSIC TEXAS PINTO BEANS

Steps:

• The pinto beans need to be inspected and picked over to check for small bits of dirt before cooking. Afterwards, place the sorted beans in a colander, and rinse thoroughly.
• Place all of the ingredients in a 4 qt. (4lt.) clay pot, stock pot or saucepan and cover with approximately 3 qt. (3lt.) Place the pot on the stove and bring to a boil over high heat. Once the beans boil, lower the heat to a simmer, and cover, leaving the cover slightly tilted to allow the steam and pressure to escape. Check the water level and stir the beans every 15-20 minutes, adding water 2 cups at a time if the water level seems low.
• After boiling for 2 hours, test the beans by making sure they are tender and soft by tasting one. Continue to cook for 30 more minutes if the beans taste undercooked. Adjust the salt if needed. Simmer the beans for 2½-3 hours. Once the beans are completely cooked, remove the beans from the heat, and allow them to cool for 15 minutes before serving.
