Mexican Chili Beans - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 lbs large dried red kidney beans
    2 cups onions, finely diced
    3 tablespoons garlic, finely diced
    1/4 lb smoked bacon, medium chop
    2 tablespoons chili powder (to taste)
    5 cups beef broth
    1 lb ripe roma tomato, finely diced
    1 teaspoon oregano
    1 teaspoon cumin
    1 teaspoon coriander
    salt
    pepper
Preparation
    Sort and wash beans.
    Cover beans plus one (1) inch with beef stock, bring to a rolling boil for five (5) minutes, turn off heat, cover and let stand one (1) hour.
    Add remaining ingredients, bring to a boil, reduce heat to a slow simmer, cover and cook about four (4) hours or until beans are tender and sauce has thickened, adding beef broth as need to keep beans slightly covered.
    Freely substitute 2 lbs small red kidney beans, or pinto beans, or a combination of the two (2).
    You may also substitute 3/4 lb of salt pork, diced, for the smoked bacon, adjusting salt as needed.
