Smoky Pinto Beans
Smoky Pinto Beans
I made this on 4 May 2016, excellent flavor but slightly modified and the recipe is changed to reflect the changes. Highly recommended.
Equipment
- Slow Cooker (3½+ quart)
Ingredients
- 500 grams Pinto beans, dry, sorted, and rinsed, (1 lb)
- 1 large onion, diced
- 250 grams bacon, cut into ¼ inch strips, (8 oz)
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 1 cup water
- 1 can diced tomatoes, drained, (585 g / 20 oz)
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Rinse the beans and place in a large bowl. Add water to cover by 2 inches. Let soak for at least 10 hours or over night.
- Drain the soaked beans in a colander and discard the soaking water, rinse with fresh water and allow to drain. Add the onion, bacon, beans, stock, and water to your slow cooker and mix. Cover and cook on high for 3 hours.
- Uncover and add the diced tomatoes and give a quick stir. Cover and cook on high for 3 more hours. Season with salt and pepper if desired.
