BBQ Beef to feed 150 people

55 lbs of beef - cut into 3"  sections, layer it in you roaster pan or dutch oven - layer of beef, salt, pepper and garlic salt - strips of green chili - sliced onions. Continue do that until all of beef is in the roaster pan. The last thing is to pour a can of coke-a-cola over the top.(The coke help tenderizes the meat) Set temperature at 350 when it starts cooking cook good lower the temp to about 250 degrees cook until the meat will fall apart. When the meat is remove the juice and set aside. Break the meat apart you may at that time need to add some of the meat juice back into the shredded beef so that it doesn't get to dry. Serve with you favorite BBQ Sauce

Cooked Pinto Beans to feed 150 people

20 cups of sorted Pinto Beans, add 11 quarts of water, put into a large roaster pan and cook until beans are good and tender. Start out at 350 then turn down to 250 and cook all day.  Season with salt and pepper. I like to add green chili, onions and salsa season to give it a hotter flavor. Or you can add a couple of ham hock or 1 lb of cut of bacon. All is wonderful.
