Lunch: South Dallas Beans

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds ground beef
2 pounds dried pinto beans, rinsed and sorted
1 onion, coarsely chopped
8 ounces salt pork, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons kosher salt

Instructions

In a large skillet, brown the ground beef until all the pink is gone, about 10 minutes.
Add the beans to a large pot and cover with 3 quarts cold water. Add the onion, salt pork, sugar, chili powder and salt. Bring the beans to a simmer over medium-high heat. Add the cooked beef and simmer until the beans are tender and the liquid has thickened slightly, about 2 hours. Serve hot as a side dish.
