UNCLE STEVE’S WORLD FAMOUS PINTO BEANS

1 large onion, quartered

4 cloves garlic, pressed through a garlic press

Place beans, onion and bouillon cubes in a large pot with a tight-fitting cover and add enough water to cover beans by about 2 inches. Bring to a boil over high heat. Meanwhile, place bacon in a medium frying pan and sauté until the fat is translucent, while stirring over medium heat. Add crushed garlic to the bacon, remove from heat and stir for about 30 seconds then add mixture to the beans.
