I started early this morning (who has time to cook with football on??!!) and made Charro Beans. We will probably have some fresh tortillas from a local market with some homemade salsa and maybe some rice. Simple, yet very delicious.

Recipe: Charro Beans
MAKE-AHEAD
1 1/2 pounds dried pinto beans, picked over and rinsed
1 quart low-sodium chicken broth
3/4 pound thickly sliced bacon, sliced crosswise 1/4 inch thick (I used some smoked pork for flavor not bacon this time)
16 garlic cloves, peeled
3 large jalapeños—halved, stemmed and seeded
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon dried oregano
2 large bay leaves
Kosher salt and coarsely ground black pepper

In a large pot, cover the beans with water and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat, cover and let the beans soak for 1 hour.
Drain and rinse the beans and return them to the pot. Add the broth, bacon, garlic, jalapeños, thyme, oregano, bay leaves and 2 quarts of water and bring to a boil. Simmer over moderately low heat until the beans are very tender, 2 hours and 30 minutes. Discard the jalapeños and bay leaves. Pick out and mash the garlic cloves, then stir them back into the beans. Season the beans with salt and pepper and serve.
MAKE AHEAD The charro beans can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
