Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 16 oz. dried pinto beans, soaked overnight
  • 4 slices thick-cut bacon
  • 1 large sweet onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, grated
  • 1/4 tsp. pepper
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt

Instruction

  • Soak beans overnight. In the morning, rinse beans and drain beans. Add to slow cooker. Add enough water to cover beans (about 6 cups for my slow cooker).
  • Dice bacon into small pieces and cook over medium heat until crisp. Add bacon to slow cooker. Add onions to pan with bacon grease and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, salt and pepper and cook another minute. Add everything to the slow cooker and stir. 
  • Cook on low for 8 hours.
