Gahboo's Weird Spicy Beans

Serves: 8
Ingredients
- 2 lbs dry beans (Mayocabo or Pinto)
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 4 ounces salt pork or 4 ounces bacon
- 2 sprigs fresh epazote (important)
- 2 teaspoons salt

- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1⁄2 bunch chopped cilantro, fresh
- 1 tablespoon garlic, chopped (from jar)
- 1⁄2 cup beer, good beer, not sissy beer
- 1⁄2 cup juice from lacostena whole canned jalapeno (brand is important to me)
- 1⁄4 cup jalapeno, fresh chopped
Directions
- Wash and sort beans.
- Cover beans with water, bring to boil. Let cool and stand overnight in refrigerator. Mayocabo beans need to soak and cook longer than pintos.
- Brown Pork in pot.
- Add beans, cover with 2 in ches of water. Boil gently for a couple hours, till mealy. Keep eye on water level and add water as needed to keep water about an inch above beans.
- When near done, add all the other ingredients. Simmer until beans are done. These beans should be pretty thick when done.
