- Sauté onion and bacon until onion softens.
- Add remaining ingredients.
- Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer 3 to 4 HOURS, until beans are mostly tender ADDING WATER IF its level drops below top of beans.
- Pick out any bad (floating) beans, skim any surface foam.
- If you don't have any Refried Beans, remove approx. 1/2 cup cooked beans, mash and return to pot and stir in. *
- Serve with piping hot hot-water cornbread, spooned over Fideos , or with Bread & Butter Sandwiches.
********** SUBSTITUTIONS : ***********
* INSTEAD OF the Bacon Ends Use 1 pound of heavy-smoked HAM ends, or 2 lbs. (about 4) HAM HOCKS, (the bone marrow improves richness… make sure to retain it back into the pot).
* Do not sauté onions - just add to pot.
* Use 1 Tbsp. Epazote instead of the Soda.
* Use 1-14 1/2 ounce can diced tomatoes in place of the chopped Roma Tomato, and reduce water by 1/2 cup.
* Use 1/2 tsp. Zatarain's Liquid Shrimp & Crab Boil in place of the Hot Sauce.
* Use 1 – 9 oz. can Fritos Bean Dip instead of the Refritos
