Beer-infused pinto beans cooked with bacon, jalapenos, and cilantro for a flavorful Texas side dish, perfect for BBQs and potlucks.
Ingredients:
  • 2 (16 ounce) cans western-style pinto beans
  • 16 ounces water
  • 6 slices bacon, or more to taste
  • 6 jalapeno peppers, seeded and sliced, or more to taste
  • 1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, chopped, or more to taste
  • 2 (12 fluid ounce) cans light beer, or as needed, divided
Instructions:
  • Start by adding pinto beans to a large saucepan or soup pot. Combine with water, bacon, jalapenos, cilantro, and garlic, and bring to a simmer for approximately 10 minutes. Then, introduce 1 can of light beer to the mixture once the beans are heated through.
  • Simmer beans with bacon until the beans begin to break down and the bacon is fully cooked, 3 to 6 hours. Add more beer as needed every 2 hours to keep the beans covered. Keep warm and covered until ready to serve.
