From Safeway Brand Pinto Beans package: This delicious Mexican-style side dish is mild enough to compliment a variety of entrees. Try it with enchiladas and fajitas, roast chicken, hamburgers and meatloaf. I have made this recipe and my family has asked that I never serve regular refried beans again. Ingredients:
1 lb pinto beans, cleaned and soaked |
4 slices bacon, thick sliced |
1 medium onion, chopped |
1 medium red bell pepper, diced |
1 medium green bell pepper, diced |
3 large garlic cloves, minced |
1/2 teaspoon cumin |
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme |
2 cups chicken broth |
1 small bay leaf |
Directions:
1. Cook beans until tender, but not completely soft (30-40 minutes).
2. Meanwhile, in 12-inch skillet, cook the bacon over moderate heat until crishp and browned. Spoon off and discard all but 1 tablespoon fat.
3. Add onion, red and green pepper and garlic.
4. Cook for 1 minute, stirring.
5. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are soft.
6. Dran beans and stir into skillet with cumin, thyme, broth and bay leaf.
7. Simmer uncovered over medium heat until most of the liquid has evaporated and beans are soft, 10-15 minutes.
8. Remove bay leaf and season with salt and pepper to taste.
