Como fazer Easy Gaucho Beans

**Prep the Beans (Dried Beans):** If using dried beans, soak them overnight in cold water with 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda. Drain the beans the following day.
**Cook the Dried Beans:** Place the drained beans in a large pot with 1/2 teaspoon baking soda and 6 cups of water. Add the bacon (see ingredients). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for approximately 2 hours, or until beans are tender. Add an additional cup of water if needed.
**Prep the Beans (Canned Beans):** If using canned beans, drain and rinse them. Set aside.
**Sauté the Vegetables:** Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 1 minute. Add 1 medium onion (chopped or pulsed), 2 scallions (chopped or pulsed), 1 medium carrot (chopped or pulsed), and 2 cloves garlic (minced or pulsed). Cook, stirring often, until softened and fragrant (about 5-7 minutes).
**Add Tomatoes and Bacon:** Add 1 (28 ounce) can of crushed tomatoes and 4 ounces of bacon (diced, if not using pre-cooked). Cook for an additional 3 minutes.
**Combine and Simmer:** Add the sautéed vegetables and bacon mixture to the pot with the cooked beans (dried or canned). Stir in 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1 bay leaf, and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
**Serve:** Remove the bay leaf before serving. Enjoy your delicious and easy Gaucho Beans!
