Ingredients

    5 cups pinto beans, dry
    5 slices bacon, cut in half
    1 fresh jalepeno pepper, cut in half lengthwise
    1 onion, chopped
    3 garlic cloves, minced
    1 small onion, chopped
    1 Tbl Seasoned Salt
    1 tsp black pepper
    1 Tbl chili powder
    2 Tbl ground cumin
    1 tsp garlic powder

Directions

1. Rinse beans well, picking out any small stones.
2. Place beans in a large stockpot with enough water to cover by at least 1". Bring to a boil, cover and remove from the heat. Allow to sit for 1 hour.
3. Place beans (+ soaking liquid) and all other ingredients in a large crock pot (5 qt or larger). Add enough water to just cover the beans.
4. Cook on high for 8 hours, stirring occasionally. Remove the jalepeno and bacon after 7 hours.
5. When ready to refry, place 1-3 cups beans in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then use a potato masher to mash to desired consistency. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve!

These beans keep in the fridge for several days and also freeze very well. I make a batch and keep 2 cup containers in the freezer.
