Frijoles a la Charra

This is another mexican dish that I just absolutely love! It has an amazing smoky flavor with the beans. This is definitely in my travels beautifully section of my cookbook.

Frijoles a la Charra

1 pound dry pinto beans
5 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 pound bacon, diced
1 onion, chopped
1 can stewed tomatoes, chopped
2 jalapeno peppers, diced
1 (12 fluid ounce) can beer, preferably a dark stout
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Place pinto beans in a slow cooker, and completely cover with water. Mix in garlic and salt. Cover, and cook 1 hour on High.

Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium high heat until evenly brown, but still tender. Drain about half the fat. Place onion in the skillet, and cook until tender. Mix in tomatoes and jalapenos, and cook until heated through. Transfer to the slow cooker, stirring into the beans.

Cover slow cooker, and continue cooking 8 hours on Low. Mix in the beer and cilantro about 1 hour before the end of the cook time.
