Ingredients

6 cups pinto beans

1/2 chicken breast

2 teaspoons fat

1 onion

1.5 cups tomato sauce

2 tablespoons brown sugar

2 tablespoons sugar

3 teaspoons mustard

2 teaspoons salt

smoke flavor (optional)

2 t chili sauce (optional)

Directions

Place the beans in a pot and cover them with water. Let them sit about 10 hours (overnight) in the water. This allows some of the gas to escape. In the morning, pour off the water and again cover them with water. Allow them to simmer for a couple hours until soft and again pour off the water. In another pot saute the onion in the fat until brown. Then add the tomato sauce and stir in the sugar and spices. Add the beans and cubed chicken and stir until mixed thoroughly. Simmer for approximately 3 hours to allow the flavor to soak into the beans and stir occasionally. Makes about 12 1-cup servings
