Boiled Pinto Beans

  1. Boiled Pinto Beans

    2 cups pinto beans
    1 garlic clove, slightly crushed
    1 small chunk white onion
    6 to 8 cups hot water
    1 teaspoon salt

    Clean beans and rinse in cold water once or twice until water runs clear. Cover beans with cold water and soak overnight.

    Place hot water in a large pot that has a tight-fitting lid. Add pinto beans, garlic clove, onion and water. Bring to a boil and lower heat to medium, keeping it at a simmer. Cook, covered, for 2 or 3 hours or until tender. If more water is needed always add boiling water, a cup or so at a time. Add salt after beans are soft. This should give you about 4 cups cooked beans and 2 cups broth.
