Ingredients
- 1 pound dried pinto beans
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups water
- 1 onion finely diced
- 1 Jalapeño fresh, seeded and chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ¾ teaspoon cumin
- 2 tablespoons bacon drippings optional, or butter
Instructions
- Rinse beans and check for dirt or debris.
- In a 4-quart slow cooker, add the rinsed beans, chicken broth, water, finely diced onion, chopped jalapeno pepper, minced garlic, salt, and cumin.
- Set the slow cooker to High heat and cook the beans for 8 hours or until they are tender.
- Remove the beans from the slow cooker, reserving the cooking liquid.
- Mash the beans to a creamy texture using a potato masher or the back of a spoon, gradually adding the reserved cooking liquid as needed. Add additional water if needed.
- Stir in bacon drippings if desired. Taste and season with salt & pepper.
Notes
- For smoother beans, use a hand blender.
- For spicy beans, add an extra jalapeno. For mild beans, replace jalapeno with mild green chilis.
