MY PENZEYS

Slow-simmered to perfection, this picnic staple from Marcia Cole is also great the next morning with breakfast. Pinquito beans are a local small crop; pinto beans work fine as well.

2 Cups dried pinquito beans picked over and soaked overnight (or pinto beans)
1 yellow onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, diced
3 whole TIEN TSIN CHILI PEPPERS
1/4 lb. finely chopped bacon
1 14.5 oz. can diced red tomatoes with juice plus 14.5 oz. of water
1/2 tsp. BEEF SOUP BASE
1 TB. BBQ or CHILI 3000

Drain the soaked beans in a colander and add to a 6-quart stockpot with all of the other ingredients including the 14.5 ounces of water. Place over low heat, cover, and simmer for 6 hours stirring occasionally. You'll have enough beans to serve a lot of hungry cowboys with 4-ounce servings and some left over to accompany your morning eggs.

Prep. time: 20 minutes plus overnight soaking
Cooking time: 6 hours
Serves: 8-12 as a side dish
