Instructions
Soak the beans in 1 gallon of cold water for 8 hours. Drain when ready to use.
In a large (2-gallon) heavy pot, cook the bacon cubes until well done – the bacon should
not
be undercooked.
Add the onions, 1/2 cup of garlic, and cilantro, to the hot bacon and cook until the onions are transparent.
Add the beans, cumin, and chili powder. Stir well and add 1/2 gallon of cold water. Set heat to medium-low, add the salt, and stir well.
Cook the beans slowly until they are tender (approximately 1 hour). Stir constantly to avoid burning the bottom of the pan.
Add the tomatoes, 1 tablespoon of garlic, extra cilantro for garnish, and serve.
