This was easy to make and pretty close to the canned version my husband likes. NOTE: If you make this in a slow cooker, cook the beans first, then put the sauteed ingredients with them and let them cook overnight.
Ingredients:
2 lbs dried pinquito beans
1 tablespoon flour
1 teaspoon instant minced onion
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 cup onion, diced
2 garlic cloves
1/2 lb bacon, diced
1/2 lb hamburger
1/2 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon salt (to taste)
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1 1/2 cups tomato juice
Directions:
1. Cover beans well with water. Boil.
2. Add the salt and pepper. Simmer 2 hours.
3. In a frying pan, saute the bacon, onion, garlic, seasonings, juice and ground beef. Add to the beans and cook another hour.
