Best Anasazi Bean recipe

Anasazi

Active member
I’ve been taking some ribbing about my user name lol. My family has a Anasazi bean farm in Dove Creek CO, Pinto Bean capital of the world, so not being an expert or anything, just wanted to share a recipe that I was raised on and kept me warm on those cold Rocky Mountain nights. I know, yeah they are gassy🤷‍♂️. Not as gassy as normal Pintos to be sure. Also my Grandma put in 1 Med peeled raw potato and tossed it after the beans cooked. I made the unfortunate mistake of eating that potato after the beans were done and we’ll it was unpleasant. OK, here you go!

3 or 4 cups Anasazi or regular Pinto beans sorted (dirt clods,rocks,and sitch)and washed.
1 large yellow onion
1 /2 - 1cup🔥of fresh roasted diced New Mexico Hatch Green Chilli (add after pressuring beans)
1 clove garlic.
1 or 2 cans Mexican stewed tomatoes after pressure.
1/2 tsp of liquid smoke
Salt and pepper to taste.
1 or 2😉 lbs of fresh venison or Elk burger again add after pressuring beans can be pre cooked to taste.
Add dry or soak overnight if you don’t have a pressure cooker or an Instapot.
beans, onion, garlic clove salt, pepper.
Cool for 45 min @ 15 lbs pressure.
Add meat Chile Stewed Tomatoes. Cook with lid off for another 30 min on low stir occasionally. Enjoy!
Also fix some damn cornbread to go with it!

Thank you for sharing your family recipe! It sounds like a delicious and hearty dish, perfect for those cold Rocky Mountain nights. The addition of fresh roasted New Mexico Hatch Green Chilies and Mexican stewed tomatoes must add a wonderful depth of flavor. And the use of Anasazi or regular Pinto beans, along with venison or Elk burger, gives it a unique touch. If you ever want to try a crunchy side to complement this savory stew, consider making banana chips air fryer.
It's always interesting to hear about family recipes and the personal twists that make them special. I'm sure your fellow bean aficionados will appreciate trying out this flavorful dish. And yes, cornbread is a classic and excellent choice to accompany a hearty bean stew.

Miss the New Mexico cooking---when I was able to eat some of the chilies--those days are gone
