Ingredients:
10 to 12 cups water
6 cups pinto beans
salt
pepper
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 chopped onions
1 (28-ounce) can tomatoes
2 tablespoons bacon fat
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Directions:
1. Put the water and beans in a large Dutch oven or a large pot and soak overnight. After soaking, you're ready for cooking.
2. Rinse the beans and add fresh water. Add salt, pepper, and chili powder and bring to a boil uncovered. Reduce the heat to low and add chopped onions, tomatoes, bacon fat, and garlic. The beans need to cook very slowly for at least 8 hours with the cover on. You may need to add a little water at different times and you should stir once in a while.
