Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

1 lb Dried Pinto Beans
1 tb Sugar
1 tb Salt
1/2 c Bacon Drippings
3 ea Garlic Cloves
1/4 c Bacon Drippings

: Pick over beans to remove rocks and bad beans. Wash and put in
large pot with sugar. Add enough cold water to cover at least twice
as deep as beans and heat to boiling. Cover and simmer for 3 hours or
until beans are soft, adding additional water when necessary during
cooking. Add 1/2 cup bacon drippings, salt and garlic. Cook at
least 1 hour more, stirring occasionally. Can be cooked for more than
4 hours or overnight if there is enough water or using a slow cooker.
To re-fry the beans: Place beans in heavy fry pan, stir frequently,
until beans are reheated. Mash with a fork or potato masher. Brown
beans until dry and a little crusty, stirring frequently. Add salt,
if needed, to taste. Note: Bacon drippings or lard give the best
flavor, but for those concerned with cholesterol levels, vegetable
oil may be substituted. If desired, one or more of the following may
be added to beans during frying. : Grated cheese to taste
: Chopped chiles
: Diced onion
: Crisp, crumbled bacon If beans become too thick, thin with a
little milk.
