Drunken Beans
- 2 C dried pinto beans
- 1 t salt
- 1/4 t oregano
- 3/4 C coarsely chopped tomato
- 3/4 C coarsely chopped onion
- 1/2 C stale beer
- 1/4 lb salt pork, diced
- 1 lg. clove garlic, minced
- 2 T butter
- 3/4 C coarsely chopped green pepper

Cook beans in water to cover, with the salt pork, salt, garlic, and oregano until the beans are just tender, adding water as needed. Drain the beans, reserving 1/2 C of the liquid. In the same kettle, melt the butter and saute the tomato, green pepper and onion over low heat, stirring often until the vegetables are just soft. Add the beans, mix well, and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes. Add the beer and mix well, cover the kettle and simmer over very low heat for 15 minutes.
