Pinto Beans w/ Jalapenos

Today I'm making pinto beans.  I put a lot of them on - 2lbs of dry - so I can set some back for lunches during the week.

2lbs of dry pinto beans ,soaked and rinsed.
1 large red onion, sliced,  I like the onion left in rings so that picky people can fish it out.  Diced would work too.
8 fresh jalapeno peppers, sliced
2 teaspoons crushed red pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground ancho pepper (I love this stuff and go through a ton of it)
4 tablespoons butter
3 cloves garlic

Put all of the ingredients into a large pot, add water until it's about 1/2 inch above the level of the beans, less if you have a really wide pot

Cover and cook at a low simmer until tender - about 1 1/2 hours.  My pot isn't totally flat on the bottom anymore, so I stir occasionally to make sure they don't stick and burn in the dents.  (totally need a new pot)  With other pots you won't have to stir very often at all.

When the beans are tender, fish out the garlic and serve.

A little spicy, you can leave out some of the pepper if you like a milder dish.  Or add a lot more pepper if you live life on the fiery side.

This one got an A.  Not surprising.  The only real "bad" things are added salt and the butter.
