Easy Slow Cooker Pinto Beans image

I love beans but I never remembered to overnight soak them. Then a friend of mine told me how she just crock pots there's no soaking required! Now I cook beans once a week and freeze the extras. I also save the bones from ham or I save pieces of bacon to cook them in the beans. We always have lots of these on hand. When you serve...

Time 6h5m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb dried pinto beans
3 qt water
1 hambone, if desired
1 tsp kosher salt
Optional bacon, cooked and chopped up
Optional 1lb chopped up smoked sausage
1 1/2 tsp creole seasoning (tony chacheres)

Steps:

  • 1. Place all ingredients In a crock pot. Do not soak your beans, there is no need.
  • 2. Place cooker on high for 6 hours, stirring at the three hour mark.
  • 3. Enjoy over rice or in tortillas. It makes a soupy broth that when cooled becomes nice and thick. If you don't have a ham bone don't worry you can substitute ham hock, sausage or bacon. They are all delicious.
  • 4. One more quick note, if your dried beans are very old, like food storage beans that are over four years old, you may need to soak them a few hours and add a little more water and a dash of meat tenderizer to help them absorb better. But I have cooked ten year old beans like this and they were delicious.

I love how easy this recipe is. I just throw everything in the slow cooker in the morning, and dinner is ready when I get home. And the beans are always delicious.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. The beans were still delicious. I also added a can of diced tomatoes and a teaspoon of chili powder. It gave the dish a nice kick.

These pinto beans are a great way to use up leftover ham or bacon. I also like to add a chopped onion and a few cloves of garlic to the pot. It really enhances the flavor.
