How To Make cowpoke pintos

  • 1
    In a Dutch oven or heavy stockpot, combine all the ingredients except the salt.
  • 2
    Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer.
  • 3
    Cook slowly, stirring up from the bottom occasionally, for at least 2 hours, adding more water if the beans begin to seem dry.
  • 4
    Stir in the salt in the last few minutes of cooking.
  • 5
    The beans should hold their shape but be soft and just a little soupy. Serve them in bowls with a bit of the cooking liquid.
