Cook them slow. and make sure you have hot water to add as needed.
I throw in some nice bacon.
garlic, onions, and a little salt.
I also like cilantro in mine.
Very simple but yet very tasty...and sometimes powerful.
Good luck.
No this is not a joke...I need some help on how to cook pinto beans. I have never attempted them before.
So far I have soaked them over night and now put them on the stove....now what??

I've dumped a beer and a jar of picante sauce in mine, too.
Okay so bring them to boil, let em boil(not too strong) for a couple of minutes. Then turn the heat down really low and put a cover on it. If it still boils over, vent the lid. I don't like to pre-soak, but since you did it should be cooked in about 1hr. I don't add any seasoning until the beans are thoroughly done.
I have all that but how long do you cook them for....please i am not an idiot....just a woman who is new to staying at home and actually having time to learn how to cook!!
Until you taste them and they are tender ... not still chalky and hard.
I concur. I always pre-soak mine and still cook them on low heat for about 2 hours. They are the best when freshly cooked.Until you taste them and they are tender ... not still chalky and hard.
And I like my seasonings to work into the beans.
After a few times you'll get to know works best for your pallette.
lol....I think I coulda figured that out...I just don't want them all mushy!
Can I add ground beef to them?? My grandmother used to do this....but I have no idea at what point she added it.
I don't usually pre-soak them ... but when I cook them, I throw in everything but the kitchen sink from the get-go. Bacon or a ham bone if I happen to have one, lots of garlic, salt & pepper, in, a little bit of chili powder, picante (for the tomatoes, onions & peppers), and sometimes cilantro, beer.
I like 'em y.
Unfortunately, no one in my house likes beans besides me so I don't make them very often anymore.
Everybody in my house loves them! I have just never had the time to actually cook them. Although I do know how to make cornbread to go with them
i don't soak mine. gabachos do that. i put them in a crock pot with salt pork, chopped onions, a couple cloves of garlic, about 4 or 5 jalapenos, and a can of beer. i let that cook SLOW for about 12 hours. i usually do this over night. right at the very end I add a little bit of comino.
gabachos?? what is that??
Add 1 cup of gasoline then light with 1 and 1/2 matches. Eat quickly before the flames go out.
**Disclaimer**
If you actually do this and die you probably deserved to
I don't pre-soak.
Make sure you clean the beans, though.
They have dirt and all that.
But, boil them with an onion, some garlic, and some salt.
That makes them taste badass.
Some people put bacon or salted pork.
I sometime do that.
It depends on my mood.
By the way, I put some beans to cook overnight and they burned.
I moved into a new apartment and I'm still trying to figure out the new stove.
Apparently, I haven't figured it out yet.
Ham hocks make everything taste yummy.
I do not think that I am this stupid...but I may pass this helpful little hint onto my future sister in law....she would do it!
If you don't want mushy, don't pre-soak. Also don't crockpot---makes a totally different taste.
Ground beef? Corn bread? Gabachos? I have a feeling you may be talking navy beans, while us Messicans are talking pintos!!
Ham hocks and navy beans with corn bread. So country. So good.
I have the onions, garlic and salt in now....but my bacon is frozen!!!
For a 5 pound bag I do the following
Soak overnight
Low heat in the morning with
1 package of salt pork diced
2 smoked ham hocks put in whole
1/2 jar Bolner's pinto bean seasoning
5-10 serrano peppers diced
1 bunch cilantro rough chopped
2 1015 onions rough chopped
Cook until onion and cilantro disappear, make sure to get the bones from the hocks out and enjoy with a cold, cold beer.
Defrost it in the microwave ... it's going to get a little chewy when you boil it, anyway.
Oh, and howdy stranger.

No the ground beef actually came from my grandmother who is half mexican and half spanish...
I actually like the cornbread with pinto beans...I put in some fresh chopped jalapenos and it tastes yummy!
Thanks guys....now this little pregnant woman is going to pass out from hunger just thinking about when these things are actually done!!!

I was wondering if you realized who you were talking too!! I kinda fell off the radar for 3 years
