Serves 15
Prep time 8 hours
Cook time 4 hours
Total time 12 hours
Mexican style beans are a simple and tasty side dish. Or serve with rice for a hearty meal. Easy to make, these beans are easy on the pocketbook too!

Ingredients

First

  • 1.5 Pounds dry pinto beans (cleaned and soaked in water overnight)
  • 1 onion (cut in half)
  • 4 Cloves garlic (crushed or minced)
  • 2 Tablespoons kosher salt
  • 1 Package bacon (chopped - I prefer center cut)

Third

  • 1 Package bacon (chopped and cooked to crisp - I prefer center cut)
  • 1 onion (finely diced)
  • 1 Bunch cilantro, chopped

Second

  • 1- 28 ounce can crushed tomatoes

Note

Mexican Style Beans are a tasty, economical and versatile dish.

Enjoy these Mexican Style Beans just as they are, or they can be dressed up with sour cream, salsa, fresh tomatoes and cheese. You can even serve these beans with a side of rice for a hearty, satisfying meal.  They also freeze and reheat well.  So make a big batch and save some in the freezer for later!

Enjoy - The Recipe Wench
