1 lb dry pinto beans
1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
1 teaspoon black pepper, ground
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons liquid smoke
2 teaspoons molasses
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper (optional)
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon celery seed
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
1/2 cup bacon, chopped (don't leave out adds a specific flavor to the beans. A little more bacon can be added, if desired.)
1/2 lb sharp cheddar cheese, grated (optional)

1
Clean beans by rinsing. Place beans in 4 qrt. pan, cover beans with water, bring to a boil and turn off the stove. Soak for one hour. As beans soften and expand, add more water to cover, if needed.

Add all remaining ingrediants and stir together.

Cook on low to medium heat (low, slow boil), stirring every so often, for 2 to 3 hours or until beans are done to your preferred tenderness.
6
Just before serving, add a sprinkle of grated sharp cheddar cheese on top.
