Crock Pot Pinto Beans
"This is a really good and easy slow cooker recipe for pinto beans, it's really good with some fresh cornbread on the side. One of my favorites!! You can add the jalapenos to your taste. We like it with a little kick but it's just as good without them."

Have you ever added bbq sauce to these pinto beans? My mom use to make beans like this but added bbq sauce and we called them bbq beans. She has passed away and she never measured anything so no recipe exist for her famous beans. Just wondered if you had use bbq sauce and how much would you recommend in your opinion? Thanks, TS

Had to laugh when the people said, they followed the recipe to the T, but added this or that. I'm going to try this without a change.

Wonderful Easy Recipe for Crockpot Pinto Beans! Followed this recipe with only a few things different. I brought beans to boil on stovetop (because I forgot to soak them overnight) then turned off the pot and put lid on for one hour. THEN, I added them to the crockpot with all the other ingredients called for and added one Beef Bouillon cube & 30 minutes before serving add a pich of brown sugar! YUMMY!! -
These were delicious. When I make pinto beans I usually do just the ol' southern bacon, onion, sugar, and salt. I wanted to change it up and I'm glad I found this recipe. I didn't have time to chop jalapeños before work so I dumped in a small can of green chiles. I would've liked it spicier. It also needed more salt to my taste. The overall flavor was delicious and I'll make this recipe again!

I was looking for a crock pot pinto bean recipe that would make beans that were tasty and want you to come back for more. I used jalapenos from the garden that made this recipe perfect. So easy to prepare, will prepare again and again!
