Cattlemans Beans Recipe

  • 6 cups cold water
  • 2 1/4 cups dried pinto beans
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 pound bulk pork sausage
  • 2 cups peeled tart apple slices
  • 1 1/2 cups tomato juice
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, mashed
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon coarse black pepper
  • 1/4 cup Jamaican rum
  • 1/4 cup sour cream, for topping
  1. Combine cold water and beans in a pot; let stand 8 hours to overnight.
  2. Stir butter into the pot with the beans and water; bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer until beans are tender, about 2 hours.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir pork sausage in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and reserve 2 tablespoons sausage drippings.
  4. Stir sausage and reserved drippings, apple slices, tomato juice, onion, brown sugar, garlic, salt, chili powder, mustard, and black pepper into beans. Bring bean mixture to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer until flavors blend, about 2 hours.
