- 1/2 cup diced yellow onion
- 1/2 cup bean seasoning (recipe following)
- 8 cups water, plus more if needed
- 1 cup chopped brisket bark and 1 inch meat chunks
For the Bean Seasoning
- 1 cup chile powder
- 1/2 cup kosher salt
- 1/4 cup coarse black pepper
- 2 tbsp onion powder 2
- 2 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
Instructions
For the Bean Seasoning
- Combine all of the ingredients and mix well. Store in an airtight container
For the Beans
- Combine the beans, onion, bean seasoning, and water in a large pot and let soak for 4 to 6 hours or for up to overnight, which is actually what I do. Add the brisket bark and the meat to the soaked beans and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a slow simmer, cover, and cook for 3 to 4 hours until the beans are tender.
