Slow Cooker Charro Beans

Servings:

I created this slow cooker recipe in an effort to duplicate the charro beans at my favorite local Mexican restaurant. They are great as a side item, served as bean soup, or served atop rice as a hearty meal.

Instructions

  1. 1 Place pinto beans into a large container and cover with several inches of cool water; let soak, 8 hours to overnight. Rinse and drain.
  2. 2 Place beans in a slow cooker with just enough water to cover.
  3. 3 Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until almost browned and crispy, 5 to 7 minutes. Add tomatoes, onions, bell pepper, jalapeños, cilantro, and garlic. Sauté in bacon drippings for 2 minutes, then slowly pour in beer. Add salt, pepper, chili powder, and cumin. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and add to beans and water in the slow cooker.
  4. 4 Cover and cook on Low for 8 hours.
