The homesicktexan states, my mom says, “Pinto beans are close to a perfect food.” Mom would soak them overnight and slow cook them all day with garlic, onions, spices and her secret ingredient—jalapeno juice. She’d add pork if it was available, but it was the jalapeno juice that gave her beans their fantastic flavor.

How to Make Big Pot of Porky Pinto Beans - Texas Style
- Rinse and sort your beans
- First soak the beans. You can either cover the beans with one inch of water and soak overnight or bring water to a boil, remove from heat and cover for one hour.
- Drain the beans and cover with seven cups of fresh water.
- Add to the pot the garlic, onion, jalapeno juice and salt pork.
