Ingredients

  • 1 lb pinto beans
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 15 oz can diced tomatoes , drained
  • 2 jalapeños seeded and chopped
  • 8 strips bacon
  • 32 oz vegetable broth
  • 14.5 oz can beef broth

Instructions

  • To soak the beans overnight, sort the beans, make sure there is no rocks, bad beans or dirt clumps.
  • Add the beans into your slow cooker insert. Cover with enough water to cover the beans plus a few inches. Let them sit overnight, do not turn on the slow cooker.
  • In the morning drain the water off the beans.
  • Cook the bacon until it is just crispy but not overly crisp. Add bacon and the remaining ingredients and stir.
  • Cover and cook on HIGH for 8 hours or LOW for 10 hours. DO NOT PEEK!!
  • Do not open the lid while they cook, or they will not get tender. This is important when it comes to cooking beans in the slow cooker.
  • When the cooking time is done, stir.
