Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb dry pinto beans , picked over for rocks
4 quarts water, divided
4 tsp salt, divided
1/2-1 cup bacon fat or 1/2-1 cup lard
1 tsp salt
2 cloves garlic, minced,more to taste
1 (4 oz) can diced green chilies
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely minced (optional)
salt & freshly ground black pepper
water or broth , for thinning (or some of the cooking liquid, preferred)
shredded monterey jack cheese

Directions:

Soak beans overnight in 2 quarts water and 2 Tsp salt, drain well, and discard water.
Place in pot with 2 quarts fresh water and 2 Tsp salt, and simmer, covered, until soft, stirring occasionally, and adding more water if beans start to get dry.
This will probably take a while, because the salt slows down cooking.
Drain beans, and discard all but 1/2 cup of the liquid.
In a large skillet, fry and mash 1/4 of beans at a time with 1/4 of the bacon fat.
They should be lumpy-smooth, not real smooth.
Return mashed beans to the pot as they are finished.
Add remaining ingredients, and heat and stir until fairly smooth.
Thin with a little of the cooking liquid if necessary, but not too much.
Adjust seasoning as necessary.
Top with cheese, if desired.
