Crock Pot Pinto Beans
Delicious and easy-to-make pinto beans cooked in a slow cooker.
Equipment
- Crock Pot Ensure it has a lid to keep moisture in.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 16 ounces dried pinto beans
- 32 ounces chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 teaspoons minced garlic
- 0.25 cup green chilies, diced
- 0.5 teaspoon cumin powder (optional)
Instructions
- Rinse the pinto beans in a colander under water to remove any dirt or debris.
- Place the beans in a large bowl and cover them with hot water, allowing room for the beans to expand. Soak the beans overnight to reduce gas.
- The next morning, drain and rinse the beans thoroughly. Transfer them to the crock pot.
- Add the chicken broth, salt, pepper, minced garlic, diced green chilies, and cumin if desired. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
- Pour enough water into the crock pot to cover the beans by 1-2 inches. This ensures even cooking.
- Cook on LOW for 8-9 hours or on HIGH for 4-5 hours. Stir occasionally if possible, to enhance the flavors.
Notes
Soaking the beans overnight will help reduce gas and ensure even cooking. Feel free to adjust seasonings to your taste.
