Ingredients

2 cups DRY PINTO BEANS

8 cups WATER

2 tablespoons PINTO BEAN SEASONING

2 teaspoons VEGETABLE OIL

Pinto Bean Seasoning

10 Tablespoons SALT

2 Tablespoons SUGAR

4 Tablespoons ONION POWDER

4 Tablespoons GARLIC POWDER

2 Tablespoons GROUND BLACK PEPPER

Preparation

Spread beans out over a flat surface and inspect carefully and remove anything that is not a bean. Place beans in a 4 quart pot (or larger) and wash with water, agitating with hand and then draining. Repeat this step until the water drains clear (about three times). Add water and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer for two hours. Add Pinto Bean Seasoning and oil and then simmer for 30 minutes longer.
