Homemade Pinto Beans

1. 1

   Sort & clean beans then rinse. Cover beans with water in crock pot and let sit over night. If water is absorbed add more.

2. 2

   Once beans have soaked overnight, cover with 6 cups of water. Add the chopped onion, jalapeno, minced garlic and bacon strips cut into pieces. Salt & pepper.

3. 3

   Cook on low in the crock pot for 6-8 hrs. Serve with shredded cheese on top.

4. 4

   The beans can be frozen, so making a bigger batch is a great idea. Add more bacon, garlic, jalapeno to taste. If you have left over baked ham or a left over ham bone it could be used in place of the bacon. For vegetarian, omit bacon.

5. 5

   Left over beans can be frozen or refried. Great with fried eggs & tortillas.
