Brazilian Crock-Pot Beans image

My friend lived in Brazil for a few years and ate these tasty crock pot beans all the time. They are quite easy as the crock pot does most the work! Great served with rice and chicken.

Time 6h15m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 cups uncooked pinto beans
6 cups water
1 large onion
3 -4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 lb bacon
2 bay leaves
3 teaspoons salt (to taste)

Steps:

  • You want to soak the beans overnight, so measure out the 3 cups and go through the beans to take out any bad ones (really shriveled or discolored). It's an extra step, but worth it because bad beans are nasty if left inches Put beans in a bowl and cover with water. Next day, dump water and you are ready to go.
  • Cut up bacon and fry to a crisp. Chop up into small pieces. Use some of the bacon grease and sauté onions and garlic. Put beans, fresh water, onion/garlic, and bacon into a crock pot. Add salt until the water tastes pretty salty, like you would want it to taste when done cooking. Add bay leaves and cook on high for 6 hours.
  • Something else that makes it really good (and really Brazilian) is to eat it with a salad made with just lettuce, tomato and dressed with lime juice, olive oil, and salt (I actually put the salt right on the lettuce then add the dressing and toss). My favorite thing to do is have a bite of rice, beans, and salad all together.

These beans were a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I wasn't sure how these beans would turn out, but I was pleasantly surprised. They were so flavorful and delicious. I'll definitely be making these again.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit. The beans are always perfectly cooked and the flavor is amazing.

These beans were so easy to make and they tasted delicious! I love that I could just throw everything in the crock pot and let it cook.
