Ingredients: 1 onion (quartered); 2 Cups dried pinto beans; 1 Cup dried black beans; 1/2 jalapeno (seeded and chopped); 4 cloves garlic (chopped, about 2 Tbs); 2 1/2 tsp Real Salt; 1 1/2 tsp black pepper; 1 1/2 tsp chili powder; 1/2 tsp ground cumin; 9 Cups water

Description

These are insanely easy to make and taste tons better than canned beans. I love to make a big batch of whatever kind of bean I am in the mood for and then freeze them in individual portions to eat later. I "refry" them after I unthaw them, so I can use the beans whole if I want.
