comp bean recipe?

[Muscrat]

Me and a buddy have entered a cook off this weekend, (my first) we entered as 2 seperate teams but will split winnings.
Anyway I entered the jackpot bean entry. The only rule is all ingredients must be smaller that the bean. I have absolutely no idea how to make beans so any help with a recipe and instruction would be greatly apprecieated.

Thanks again!

Good beans in a flavorful broth are what win or so I'm tole.

BluDawgs Charo Beans

4 cloves garlic minced
3 jalapenos seeds and veins removed diced
4 pieces bacon diced and rendered( reserve dripping)
1 Knor calde de pollo bouillon
1 knor calde de tomate bouillon cube
salt & pepper to taste

sort the beans to remove and sticks & rocks
put the beans into a pot and cover with cold water by 4"
bring pot to a low boil and boil 10 min put lid on pot remove from heat and let stand 1 hr
cook the bacon to brown and render the fat over med low heat
drain the beans refill the pot with enough water to cover the beans by 2 " bring the pot to a simmer(DO Not allow to boil hard the bean will get tough) add everything but the salt & pepper.Adding salt here will make the beans tough and the pepper might over power.
cover the pot and simmer about 2 hrs or until the beans are tender, check seasoning adj as needed.

I have 3 first place pinto trophies at comps of 50+ teams. Simple flavorful is what wins IMO. We always do top 10. Usually 2 lbs of pintos must be checked in
J$ pinto recipe
2 lbs casserole brand pinto beans, sorted picked and rinsed. I do not soak or quick boil and strain my beans. I feel the flavor of the bean cooked into the broth gives extra flavor and could care less if they give people Gas.
2 ham shanks
1/2 cup bolster fiesta pinto seasoning
1/2 cup knorr caldo de tomate
1 tbs fresh mixed garlic
1 finely chopped Vidalia onion
2 tbs of high quality fish sauce (red boat #40)
2 dried guajillo pepper pods
Enough water to cover by 1"
Let the crock pot do the rest, usually about 6-8 hrs on high.
Add fresh cilantro leaves to taste 1 hr before turn in
