when i make my beans i put in one ham hock (smoked) or turkey wing (smoked ) one can of chicken broth and the i cover with water bring to a rapid boil and one pinch of baking soda to burbs the bean!. make sure you are using a type of pinto bean!. season with oregano cumin salt an pepper one can of dice green Ortega chillies, and my secret 1/4 teaspoon of poultry seasoning!. turn way down!. for about 2 hours then finally mince the onions and garlic and add to beans continue to cook if your beans begin to get dry just make sure you add just enough water to cover the top of the beans!. because this method will give you a gravy!. good luck oh yea don't forget about a half of a teaspoon of Chile powder!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
The thing with beans is that you can put as much water as you like, its not rice which gets sticky with too much water!. If you put enough indgrediants like garlic cloves and Salt you'll be fine, just slow cook them, what my family loves is when i put sausage links in the beans and it gives them them this great great flavor!. I hope this helps!Www@FoodAQ@Com
to be honest,i never measure ,just make sure theres enough to cover(like and inch or two above the beans) so they can get enough,since they expand,and if for some reason during the cooking you need more,get some HOT water in a cup,and add more!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I know for 1 pound beans, you need 5 cups of water!.
