How to Make Big Papa Ed's Quick And Tasty Frijoles
- In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside. Reserve bacon grease in the skillet.
- Add chopped onion to the skillet with the bacon grease and sauté for 2 minutes, until softened.
- Add minced garlic and jalapeño (if using) to the skillet. Sauté with onions for another 2 minutes, until fragrant. Reduce heat if necessary to prevent burning.
- Add the can of pinto beans (including the liquid), 1/2 cup of water, 1 teaspoon of salt, and the cooked bacon to the skillet.
- Bring mixture to a full boil for 1 minute.
- Reduce heat to a low simmer. Do not cover the skillet.
- Stir occasionally.
- After about 10 minutes, mash the beans with a wire potato masher to your desired consistency (chunky or smoother).
- Simmer for another 6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add a little more water if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot and enjoy!
