Arizona Ranch-Style Beans

I finally got my internet set up. Now I can start posting recipes for you.

I cooked this one a week ago, but not knowing when I could get back on my computer I didn't take pictures. Then again most bean dishes look a lot alike.
these beans are good as is, but by adding a pound or two of beef, cubed it also makes a grate Chili.

2 pounds of dried pinto beans
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 large onions, diced
4 cloves garlic, chopped
4 ounce can fire roasted green chili peppers, chopped
8 ounces taco sauce, your favorite
28 ounce caned tomatoes
1 teaspoon cumin seeds

Day before, wash beans, soak over-night in water to cover generously. Next day, drain beans; place beans in a 14" Dutch oven, Place oven over 16 charcoals. Cover with fresh water by 2 inches. Add salt;  Bring to a boil; Remove a few charcoals to simmer for 1 hour, adding water if needed. Add remaining ingredients; cover with lid, cook for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until beans are tender sauce is reduced to a nice and thick.

    Do you know of a Dutch Oven group up in Lane County? I would love to get together with other enthusiasts.

    1. Check out I.D.O.S. Chapters. I think there is a Mt. St. Hellenes Chapter.
