1 pound pinto beans. picked and cleaned
4 slices bacon, small diced
1 medium onion, chopped fine
4 medium garlic cloves, minced
4 1/2 cups water
1 cup black coffee, strong
1/3 cup dark brown sugar, packed
2 tablespoons prepared brown mustard
1/2 cup BBQ sauce (your Fav)
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon cumin
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 teaspoon pepper sauce

Place beans and 6 cups water1n a 12" Dutch oven, with about 20 charcoals on the bottom. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes. Remove oven from charcoals, cover and let beans soak for 1 hour. Drain beans. Clean and dry oven. Add bacon to oven and cook over 16 charcoals, until lightly browned, (almost crisp), 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in onions, and cook until tender and almost brown, 6 to 8 minutes more. Add drained beans, water, and coffee. Bring to a simmer by removing 4 charcoals, and cook for 10 minutes. Add brown sugar, mustard, BBQ sauce, chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper, and hot sauce. Replace lid and add 16 charcoals to the top. Cook until beans are just tender, 2 to 2 1/2 hours. remove lid and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce has thickened, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Re-season to taste. Serve.
