Eva's Beans

Directions

In a large pot, put the beans, bacon, oregano and cumin.

Add the beer, and water.

Simmer until the beans are almost tender (maybe 1 to 1½ hours).

Add the tomatoes and jalapenos, and cook until beans are fully tender.

Add the cilantro, and re-heat for about a half hour.

Salt to taste.

These make a good basic bean.

If you want a bean soup, remove about a quarter of the beans, and mash with a potato masher.

Return to the pot.
