SOUTHWEST RANCH STYLE BEANS (CROCK POT PINTO BEANS RECIPE)

Steps:

• Rinse dried beans in a colander to remove any dirt or dust.
• Pick out any black, discolored beans or stems
• Place beans in crock pot and fill with water until water is 3 inches over beans.
• Cover and let soak overnight.
• Drain water from crockpot.

• Add water until it is ½ inch above the beans and stir to combine
• Set crockpot on low, cover and cook 8 hours.
• Check to see if beans are soft, remove bay leaves, and stir in salt to taste.
• Serve over rice or with cornbread or tortillas. Top with your choice of chopped cilantro, green onions, grated cheese, sour cream, salsa, taco sauce and/or crumbled tortilla chips.

CROCK POT RANCH STYLE BEANS RECIPE

Steps:

• Place all of the ingredients in the crock pot in order. I like to put the water in last because it tends to 'mix' everything nicely together.
• If you do not like to mince garlic yourself, you can substitute 3-4 teaspoons of bottled minced garlic. (This is an indulgence, but it is a big convenience and sometimes you can find it marked down. Plus, one little bottle will last a long time.)
• Cook on low 8 hours or high for 5 hours.
• Serve hot and toss a pinch (or two) of shredded cheese on top for a little extra yum!
