Steps:
- Pour beans into a colander and rinse them off, removing any unwanted pieces. Add to a large pot with 6 cups of water (or enough to cover them by about 2 inches), a small chunk of onion, bay leaf and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 1 to 2 hours, until the beans are tender, but not bursting. (Mine usually take about 1 hour but depends on how dry/old your beans are). Check them a few times during cooking to make sure they are covered in water and add a little more water if needed.
- Once the beans are tender, drain them, reserving 1/4 cup of the liquid. Set aside.
- Add the bacon to a large pot and cook for about 5 minutes or until cooked. Remove some of the grease. Add onion and garlic and cook until onion is translucent. Add ham (or sausages), diced tomatoes, peppers, cilantro, oregano, paprika, cumin, black pepper and cook for 5 additional minutes.
- Add the cooked beans, reserved broth, and beer. Simmer for 15 minutes.
- Taste and season with salt and pepper, or additional spices if needed.
- Serve garnished with cilantro, as a meal with warm tortillas, or as a side dish.

BORRACHO BEANS AND RICE
I bought a can of cattle beans and a very similar recipe was on the label. I embellished it a bit. Normally, bacon goes into burracho beans. I happened to have some Mexican chorizo and used that instead. If you don't want your "drunken" beans drunk, use chicken broth instead. (But, it's better with beer!)

Steps:
- 1. Spray large skillet with olive oil or Pam. Add chorizo, break up and cook on medium-high.
- 2. Add onions and peppers while continuing to stir and break up until it starts to brown. Add garlic, cumin, ground chili and oregano. Cook for another minute or two. Don't let the garlic burn.
- 3. Add drained beans, can of tomatoes with chiles, and beer. (If it seems like too much beer, only pour in half and drink the rest!) Simmer together for about 20 minutes.
- 4. Add cilantro and cook for another 5-10 minutes. Taste for salt and pepper.
- 5. When serving, add a scoop of rice to the bottom of each bowl. Add beans and sprinkle on some bacon bits, cojita cheese crumbles and scatter chopped green onion on each bowl.

KIKI'S BORRACHO (DRUNKEN) BEANS
Growing up, my Mexican grandmother always had a pot of beans cooking on the stove. I often cook these beans (a 'drunken' version) for my family, and the aroma keeps her close to my soul, even years after she has past. I hope your family enjoys them as much as mine.
