Ingredients

1 pound pinto beans
3 pounds pork roast
7 cups water
1/2 cup chopped onion

TOPPINGS:
1 shredded Cheddar cheese
1 diced avocado
1 sliced green onions
1 diced tomato

Directions:

Place uncooked beans, roast, water, onion, garlic, seasonings, chilies, and pimientos in a heavy kettle. Cover and simmer on top of the range about 5 hours or until roast is fork-tender.

Fun Fact: On Mardi Gras Day in 1699, Pierre le Moyne, Sieur d'Iberville, founded a military outpost named Point Mardi Gras at the mouth of the Mississippi River. The state of Louisiana has been celebrating Mardi Gras ever since. The statewide party begins on January 6th, the Twelfth Night Feast of the Epiphany, and ends on "Fat Tuesday" (Mardi Gras Day), 46 days before Easter.
