I've been searching for a good pinto bean recipe, and this is the one! I didn't have bacon, so I put in two smoked ham hocks (and didn't put in any other salt). I soaked the beans overnight, then cooked them in my slow cooker on high for about four hours before I put in the second batch of ingredients. Think it may have cooked for another hour before I put in the tomatoes and cilantro. One thing I did forget to do was decrease the liquid, since I was using the slow cooker. Next time, I may only put in three cups of chicken broth + the beer, and see if that works. We like our beans less "soupy" more "meaty."
