Jalapeno Cowboy Beans


These beans are wonderful with freshly baked cornbread slathered with butter. They can be prepared well in advance and freeze well. I like to serve them with a blob of sour cream sprinkled with chopped cilantro.prep time does not include the overnight soaking of the beans.

Steps


Soak beans in a large pot over night in water to cover by at least 3 inches.
Drain and return to same pot.
Add water to cover by 2 inches and the rest of the ingredients.
Bring to a boil and simmer until beans are tender , about 3 hours.
Discard salt pork and season.

Ingredients


dry pinto beans, ham steak, salt pork, onion, garlic, jalapeno pepper, chili powder, worcestershire sauce, hot pepper sauce
