INGREDIENTS
Bread
- 2 c flour
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 3 tsp baking powder
- 1 c warm water
Topping
- 2 c pinto beans soaked overnight
- 1 lb hamburger
- lettuce
- sour cream
- tomatoes
INSTRUCTIONS
Bread
- Combine dry ingredients and add warm water. Mix with your hands until dough forms. Let sit for 5 minutes.
- Break off the dough into golf-ball sized balls (or even a tid bigger).
- Roll dough into ½-inch thick circles that are about 6 inches in diameter.
- Fry each piece in a medium sauce pan with hot oil (that is about 1-2 inches deep). Fry until dough is golden and poofs up, and then fry on the other side keeping it in the oil. Set on a paper towel to drain oil.
Topping
- Put soaked beans in crock pot, cover with water. Cook on low until tender (for 4-6 hours). 2 hours before beans are done, toss in 2-3 slices of chopped bacon. *You know beans are done when they start breaking up. You can also use beans from the can for an easier version.
- In the meantime. Cook up 1 lb of hamburger. Once beans are done, toss in hamburger.
- Spread beans over your fry bread and add desired toppings.
