2 cups dry pinto beans
6 cups water
2T garlic salt

Directions:

Place beans in the bottom of a large cooking pot and pour water on top – extra water is fine. Turn the heat to medium-high. Add the garlic salt and stir several times before it comes to a boil or the beans can stick to the bottom and burn. Once the pot begins to boil turn down the heat, cover with a lid and simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, stirring every 45 minutes, until beans are tender and delicious! If you are going on to make refried beans, save a cup of the cooking liquid. Otherwise, drain the water and store in a sealed container in the refrigerator.
