Instructions
-
Boil ham & beans in the water until the beans are soft. This could take awhile – hours – some people soak the beans over night.
-
Saute the onion, garlic, bell pepper, cumin, chili powder together. Add the tomato sauce and fry a bit more and add this mixture to the beans in the pot.
-
Simmer to mingle flavors.
-
Salt & pepper to taste.
Note
OK – this recipe was given to me by Grandma years ago. ALL the ingredients are estimates. The recipe may have changed since then, but this one was given to me in the 1980’s sometime.
I admit to cheating sometimes by purchasing canned, cooked pinto beans, sautéing the other ingredients together and adding them to it, instead of starting with dried beans. IN FACT, I know Grandma did this on occasion when she was in a hurry.
