Janet,

3 cups (or 24 oz) of dried beans that you then soak overnight. I didn’t photograph the other half-bag of beans–I’m sorry for the confusion!

Your recipe is confusing to me. Do I use 3 cups dried pinto beans that are measured pre-soaking or after? Your picture shows only one 1-lb package but you’d need two packs in order to get a 3-cup measure pre-soaking. I did that but got a ton of beans after soaking. I ended up measuring the 3 cups after soaking and throwing out the rest of the soaked beans. Cooking this now and am wondering if I made the correct decision. Did I??

Living here in the South, pinto beans are a regular menu item and we always cook extra for Bev to later make into refried beans. I can imagine how good yours are when you are making them for the entire cooking process and I sure agree with your homemade vs canned comment.

When I moved to Tucson, AZ, in the early ’80s, I was very confused by the beans here. They were so simple, yet irresistible. I became close with a family member at one of the most famous restaurants here at the time and asked her what the secret was. The secret was simplicity. Lots of bacon fat, onion, garlic that, over the course of three or four hours of slow simmering, melt into something so simple and delicious. Leave out the chile powder, cumin and black pepper—and let the onion, garlic and fat emulsify over the course of cooking—and your recipe is there.

I bet the bacon added a lot of flavor.
