Ingredients
  • 1 pound dried pinto beans, washed
  • 2 quarts low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • ½ tablespoon pepper
  • 1 (12 fluid oz.) bottle dark beer
  • 1 (14.5 oz.) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 cup chopped white onion
  • ¼ cup pickled jalapeno peppers, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 3 bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried cilantro (or ½ cup fresh)
  • 1 cup diced lean ham
Instructions
  1. Soak beans in a large pot of water overnight, or cover with water, bring to boil, cover with lid and let sit for 1 hour.
  2. Drain beans, and refill the pot with chicken stock and enough water to cover the beans with 2 inches of liquid. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and cook for 1½ hours. Stir beans occasionally throughout the entire cooking process to make sure they do not stick.
  4. Stir beer, tomatoes, onion, jalapeno peppers, garlic, bay leaves, oregano, cilantro and ham into the beans. Continue to cook uncovered for 1 hour, or until beans are tender. Add water as needed during cooking.
