Ingredients
  • 2 1/2 cups dried pinto beans
  • 3 quarts water
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 2/3 cups tomato puree
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 cup dry bread crumbs
Instructions
1
First, combine the beans and water in a large cooking vessel.
2
Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, then continue to cook until the beans are nearly tender, approximately 1 and a half hours.
3
Add a pinch of 1 and a half teaspoons of chili powder and a dash of 1 and a half teaspoons of salt to the beans during this time.
4
Meanwhile, in a separate cooking vessel, break up the ground beef into small pieces and heat it over medium-high heat.
5
Add sliced onion and minced garlic to the skillet, stirring constantly until the onion is softened and the meat is browned.
6
Remove excess grease from the skillet, then stir in a spoonful of tomato puree, 1 tablespoon of chili powder, and a sprinkle of salt.
7
Add the bread crumbs to this mixture before stirring it into the pot with the beans, adding more water if necessary to achieve your desired consistency.

Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed before serving.
