Made me so hungry, I put a pot on myself right now. Thanks for yhe inspiration!! Good way to filter out rocks is to pour 1 cup of dry beans into a cup.Then pour a small amount of those beans from the cup onto a paper plate. Shake the plate, and anything that shouldn't be mixed in with the beans will stand out like a sore thumb while you're shaking the plate because the beans will all be pretty uniform in size and anything else will not and will stand out. Pick out those stones, any bad looking beans, etc, fold the paper plate a bit and pour those filtered beans right into your pot. Repeat for as many beans as you intend to cook. I'm sure that this gent's beans are just delicious, but so are mine.😃 Some folks do differently(I've never soaked them overnight. I rinse them, boil them for 5 minutes, cover and let sit 1 hour). Then put in my ham, bacon, onion, chopped green and/or chopped jalapeño pepper, onion salt, black pepper, just a little comino powder, and plenty of garlic(I like a lot of it!). Slow cook on the stove covered for at least 2 more hours or so(3 to get them really soft)...stirring every half hour or so...add in more water as needed. If you add enough ham, or pig feet, etc...just the beans and bread, garlic toast, or cornbread will be a full meal. I've even added some Rotel into mine. Maybe just a few spriggs of cilantro. Lotsa variations. Usually I will mash some of the beans, after they're well cooked, in the pot to make the soupy bean liquid thicker. Then just dip that toast, bread, cornbread, tortillas, even chicharones into a big bowl of those beans and man! Sure good eatin' !

Isn’t it better to cook the bacon in the pan and then sauté your onion in the bacon fat along with the jalapeños? I think that would add more flavor.

Looks delicious! Nice voice to listen to. My husband asked if I was watching the Bob Ross of cooking. I'm sure you know Bob Ross the painter who paints little trees!

Now folks, this is how you do it!! This is a great presentation. He explain in detail how to do it right... God bless you brother, and to your family as well.. there's nothing like southern cooking...and I'm from Pittsburgh..lol.

I just left a video where someone was giving wrong information about beans in general LOL! Then I clicked to yours and you were getting everything right :P The other dude even said to not even bother checking for stones, because finding one is good luck LOL!

Just bought everything to make a pot of beans...and after seeing your video, I realized I forgot my jalapeño. My paternal family is from Texas also, and when I grew up, my family used salt pork in the pinto bean pot. Ironically, I asked the meat guy at the local Whole Foods for it, and he had no idea what I was talking about, LOL! They had it in their refrigerated meat section, so I am almost in business! Beans are soaking, will get chili later today. Your jalapeño dice looks great! I usually cut off the big end and throw the whole thing in for flavor, and throw it out after they are done.

I love beans, many greetings from Brunswick in Germany :)

Even here in Texas -> Rounds to planks. Planks to strips. Strips to cubes. - Consistency of cut is consistency of cook. Consistency of cut is consistency of look.

I cook pintos all the time. I use Casserole brand, never had a rock... And this guy has a great recipe!

you can use smoked ham hocks instead of bacon

4 years I've always cooked them in the water which I soaked them in if you don't the beans were not thickened as much or As well Enjoy your program😋😊

I never soaked either. It is suppose to help not cause gas. Beans have never bothered my family that way. I guess it depends on your gut what is best.

Ohh and a pinch of baking soda helps the flatulant problem too, makes the color of pintos lighter tho, but it’s worth it.

I use a grapefruit spoon since it has a serrated edge.

I soak my pintos overnight. Simmer in cast iron Dutch oven on the stovetop. Beaucoup garlic, onion and jalapeño with all the pith and seeds. As I’m a born in Texas Hungarian I also add Szeged bohunk paprika. A can or two of spicy Rotel canned tomato’s in the mix aint a bad thing either. A bowl of beans with some tortillas and pickled jalapeños on the side is a dang good healthy supper!

Just avoid the stone or grit in beans by first spreading the beans (dry beans in a bag) on a flat surface and pick through them for any trash or rotten beans.Once that is done wash the beans thoroughly in cold water.WHEN ,these steps are completed they are ready to be cooked and you as the the cook can feel confident in eating a grit or stone free meal.

Video starts at 02:45.

Is there a printable recipe card for this anywhere?

I use Rancho Gordo beans. You get what you pay for. They are many varied and exceptional. No rocks or dirt clods.

If youre Beans are so dusty and/or dirty maybe you should try to find a different brand? Other than that, thank you for this recipe! Joe from Germany

Ah the last time I took seeds out of a chili I was keeping to seed the next year from a cheap bag that cost 1 dollar (nearing their end of shelf life) I forgot, a few mins later went out side and started rubbing one of my eyes, yeah that sting didn't go away for ages, in the tear duct, not on the eye. =)

You don't show what that second seasoning is (after the bay leaf). It looked like cumin. Is that correct?

You said it at the end. My apologies. I missed it before.

I know there is no such thing as too much bacon, but that is too much bacon...Max 3 slices chopped per lb. of dried beans. There is going to be so much grease in those..You fry the 3 slices of chopped bacon until it is just starting to brown then you pour that and the grease into your beans and proceeded to cook. Never put your onions in at the beginning. Those go in during the final 8-10 minutes of cooking, otherwise, they are just cooked to nothing and don't really add any flavor. ...I have other ingredients we use such as epazote and chili powder but they are optional. Some folks don't like cumin and epazote. In S. Texas and been making beans for 60 years and my people before that. Grew up on them. Loved your presentation and version anyway.

I understand the spices, but what do you put in it? Garlic, cumin, and what else? Thank you.

The capsaisin layer of a chili exists in the interior layer of the chili and sometimes migrates into the seeds. If one wishes to eliminate the 'heat' in a jalapeno, one has only to split it and using a small spoon, or ones hands (thumbnail) to scrape away said layer. There is no heat in the exterior of a jalapeno.

You are right any beans have stones please look for them I find them always please watch and clean them well

The bubbling is caused by enzymes in and on the beans its natural. 24 hours is a bit long to soak beans, they are usually ready to cook after no more than 12 hours.

I've never had beans cook in 1 1/2 hours, minimum 3 hrs and sometimes more. Also, that was the worst bacon ever, 90% fat, got to inspect that bacon before buying. Otherwise decent recipe, a variety of chilies would be good, a serrano would liven it up...

@@nancydisney1274 Actually the Americas Test Kitchen plus some extra research by others has revealed that brining the beans during the soak will help to break down and soften the skins as well as assisting in moisture penetration into the beans by making the water heavier. It will reduce the cooking time. I have experimented with this several times and it works well. This is why I have changed what I teach. Make sure you change the water with fresh for the cook.
