Borracho Beans From Scratch

---

I have taken ingredients from about 3 different borracho bean recipes and made my very own recipe for borracho beans. my dh said they were the best he had ever eaten. (this is quite a statement, as he is usually my most critical food fan.)

---

Steps

---

Sort through the beans , looking for small rocks and debris.

---

Place in large bowl and rinse several times.

---

Remove beans by hand into a clean bowl of water.

---

Fill the bowl with the newly rinsed beans with water and soak beans overnight.

---

Drain off soaking water.

---

In a large soup pot , bring 3 quarts of water to a boil and add beans and dark beer.

---

Add garlic , kosher salt , onion powder and chili powder to beans and beer.

---

Lower the heat to simmer , cover pan and cook about 2 hours , or until beans are tender.

---

When the beans are light brown and soft , add the cumin , mexican oregano and jalapeno peppers.

---

In a skillet over medium-high heat , fry bacon pieces and onions until bacon is crisp.

---

Add to beans.

---

Last , but not least , add the cilantro and fresh roma romatoes.

---

Simmer for another hour.
