YUMMY PINTO BEANS!

Steps:

• Rinse and sort beans to get any unwanted material out.
• Soak Beans overnight 1 lb to 6 cups of water, I usually add a little bit of salt to my soak. The package also lists directions for a quick soak but I prefer to soak mine overnight.
• Drain beans after soaking. You may use the same water you soak them in, it adds flavor and contains nutrients but, it causes an increase in flatulants.
• Place the beans in the crock pot followed by the jar of salsa and 4 1/2 cups of water.
• Stir in onion powder, garlic powder and dried onion flakes.
• Add sausage (I cut mine into 1/2 inch round pieces).
• Cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4. Stir occasionally and add more water if neccessary.
• Add salt to taste and Enjoy with cornbread! Yummy!

• Stir tomato sauce and brown sugar into the beans. Continue to simmer until beans are tender and flavors are blended, about 1 more hour.
