Simple Pinto Bans

This is midways between pinto bean chili and a pinto bean side dish. You can serve it as a main course with salsa and cheese and tortillas, or as an sidedish with a larger meal:

Pinto Beans
* 1 pound pinto beans, soaked overnight then simmered until tender. My crock pot has been giving me trouble here. I think on high.
* 4 cups cold water
* 1 cup coarsely chopped onion
* 1 can (28 ounces) tomatoes
* 2 garlic cloves, minced
* 2 teaspoons chili powder
* 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper, optional
* 2 teaspoons salt
* 1/2 lb. pork
* 2 tsp. ground cumin

Soak the pinto beans overnight, put them in the crock pot all day with the tomato, spices, fried onion and garlic, enough water to cover, and spices.
