SOUTHERN STYLE PINTO BEANS
A southern staple, this is one of those good ol' down home meals. Add a pan of cornbread and it's almost perfection! And if you're in the mood to splurge, fried potatoes are a must. I used to spend all day cooking a pot of beans and watching them carefully so they didn't burn. The crock pot solves that problem.

Steps:
- Cover beans with water and soak overnight, or 6-8 hours.
- In the morning, drain and rinse the beans, discard soaking water, and put beans in slow cooker. Add remaining ingredients, including chicken broth.
- Cover. Cook on low 10 hours, or on High 5 hours.
- Transfer 2 cups of the bean soup to a food processor or blender and puree. Return puree to the slow-cooker. Heat on High an additional 30 minutes. (This is an easy way to thicken the soup.).
- Serve with cornbread and fried potatoes.
- TO PRE-PREP: Combine 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon thyme, 1/2 teaspoon oregano, 1/4 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon chili powder, and 1 bay leaf, and store in a plastic storage bag until ready to cook. Having these dry ingredients packaged ahead of time will make seasoning the beans as easy as pouring the seasonings into the slow-cooker along with the beans and chicken broth.
- TO STORE: Bean soups keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to three months. The flavors are even better after standing. When reheating, thin with a little water if necessary.

[email protected]I'm not a big fan of pinto beans, but these were actually really good! The recipe was easy to follow and the beans turned out so creamy and flavorful. I'll definitely be making these again.

[email protected]The beans were a bit bland for my taste, but they were still good. I think next time I'll add some more spices, like cumin and chili powder.
