Mexican-Style Pinto Beans

1 small bag of dry pinto beans (1 lb.)
bacon
sausage
cilantro
onion
small jar of salsa to taste
salt & pepper

Rinse bag of beans and soak overnight. Next day put in crockpot or slow cooker covered with water, almost to the top. Cover and cook on LOW heat 5 to 7 hours, until beans are tender. After about 5 hours, (when beans are tender) fry up desired amount of bacon, sausage onion, and cilantro until bacon and sausage is cooked through and onion is clear; drain well.
Add bacon, some bacon drippings, sausage & onions to beans. Add salsa to taste. Cover and cook about 1 to 2 more hours. This could be a main meal or served with Spanish Rice.
