1 TBS. vegetable oil
1 cup finely chopped onion
2 cloves of garlic, minced
2 tsp. chili powder

2 cans beef broth (you can use beef bouillon with water too)
1 cup dried pinto beans
4 cups thinly sliced carrots
1 bag frozen corn
salt and pepper
condiments, tonatoes, green onions, sour cream, chips, guacamole, salsa
Soak beans overnight. Trim fat from pork and cut into 1 to 1 1/2 inch cubes. Heat oil in 5 quart pot over medium-high heat. Add meat and cook, stir well until brown on all sides. Push meat to side of pan, add onions and garlic. Cook until onions are soft. Stir in seasonings, water, broth and beans. Simmer until meat and beans are tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
