- Reviews 24
Ready In: 8 hrs 5 mins
Serves: 6-8
Ingredients
- 1 lb dried pinto bean, sorted and washed
- 5 cups water
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 4 -8 ounces cooked ham, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1⁄4 teaspoon dried oregano
- salt, to taste
Directions
- Cover beans with water and soak overnight; drain.
- Place beans in a 6 quart crock pot with water and remaining ingredients except salt. Cook on low setting for 8-10 hours, or until beans are soft and done. Stir a couple of times during cooking, if possible. Add salt after beans are done. Cooking salt in the beans will make them tough.
- Note: The jalapenos will give your beans a bit of heat. You can control how hot you want them by the amount of pepper you add. If you want no heat, replace the jalapeno with 2 tablespoons of chopped green bell pepper.
