Ingredients

The following ingredients have 16 Servings
  • 1 pound pinto beans (soaked overnight and drained)
  • 1 pound pork sausage
  • 1 small onion (diced)
  • 6 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons beef bouillon paste
  • 2 tablespoons chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (chop the peppers, or just adobo sauce.)
  • 10 ounces tomatoes with green chiles (undrained)
  • 6 medium cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cumin

Instruction

  • In a skillet, brown your pork sausage and onion and drain.
  • Place the beans, beef, and 6 cups of water in the slow cooker.
  • Add the remaining ingredients and stir gently.
  • Cover and cook on high for 4 to 5 hours or low for 8-10 hours. I like to stir the beans a couple of times during the cooking process. It seems the help the beans to cook consistency so that some aren't hard while others are mushy.
  • You can serve these beans with a slotted spoon for a side dish or with a ladle as a soup!
