The credit for this recipe has to go to my sister. Jay and I made them for Christmas, and have been thinking about them ever since. They are so good, you might just want to eat beans for weeks!
Tashie's Terrific Charro Beans
1 lb Pinto beans rinsed)
1 bunch Cilantro
1 can Rotel
1 can diced Tomatoes
1 med Onion chopped
6 oz Bacon/ salt pork
1 clove Garlic minced
chicken bullion
Sautee bacon and onions until onions are translucent. Add Garlic and beans stirring well. Cover with water and add a few tablespoons of chicken bullion. Allow to simmer for an hour over medium heat. You may need to add additional water so that beans have a soup-like consistency. After an hour, add tomatoes, Rotel, and cilantro. Turn heat to low and allow to simmer until beans are soft. Serve as a soup, over rice, or with cornbread. These beans get even better the next day!
Okay, so I seriously will have to try both of these recipes - they sound amazing!!!! I love your blog!
