Ingredients

Heat a 12 quart heavy stock-pot and add the oil.

Sauté the pork, beef, onions, garlic, cumin seeds, chili powder and bay leaves until the meat is barely browned and the onions clear.

Drain the fat and discard.

Add the remaining ingredients, including the beans, and bring to a simmer.

Cook, covered, for 1½ hours or until the beans are very tender.
