In a 2-gallon heavy pot cook the bacon pieces until well done. Do not undercook the bacon. Add 1/2 cup chopped garlic, 3 tablespoon cilantro, and chopped onions to hot bacon. Cook until onions are transparent.

When onions are ready, add beans, cumin, and chili powder. Stir and add 1/2 gallon cold water. Turn heat to medium-low. Add salt and stir. Cook beans slowly until fork tender (approximately 1 hour). Stir constantly to avoid burning the bottom.
