1 lg Onion diced
1 ts Salt
2 qt Water
2 c Pinto beans washed, picked
1/2 ts Freshly-ground black pepper
2/3 c Lard or unsalted butter
Every time I make beans I try to do just like momma. But sadly, there's something missing. So I tried this instead, substituted black pepper for habanero pepper for a kick of flavor. I decided as I was pouring onions into the pan that I wouldn't use them all because it looked to be too much. I was mistaken and realized this only too late. Don't make my same mistake X) I also used unsalted butter instead of lard. Whatever the difference lard is supposed to make, butter sure did the same thing! All in all, yummmayy.
ChelaBellaaahLove the onion flavor. Very good. My go to pinto beans recipe.
TrastI modified it a bit. I didn't have any onion, so I substituted california style onion powder (3 tsp.), and also used about 1/2 to 1 tsp. McCormick mild taco seasoning along with 2 tsp. sea salt. I made a double recipe, so 32 oz. pintos. It turned out so well that I may never buy canned refried beans again! The lard is what really makes the flavor come together!
