Vegan Slow-Cooker Pinto Beans created by Susan P.

I made these when the kids asked for Mexican food. They were delicious - served with Veggie Fajitas. I think this recipe would work well with almost any kind of beans.

I'm making pinto beans on the stove top instead of crackpot. I soaked them 24 hours. How long do they need to simmer on stovetop?

Just came home and tasted these beans and they are amazing. 5 hours on high in my slow cooker was the perfect amount of time. I typically use a ham hock but wanted to try a vegan recipe. To my surprise, this recipe is tastier then using a ham hock! I made no modifications and simply followed the recipe. I am in the US so I had to estimate the bean quantity. I used 2 cups of unsoaked pintos. Easy peasy.

Excellent beans! I left out the oregano, as I always fear to potency of it. But so many flavours happening anyway. I also subbed pinto beans for borlotti beans, as the previous are hard to find in everyday Aussie stores. Definitely going to be a regular in our family
