I was fed up with searching for tasty slow cooker pinto recipes, so I mixed and matched and came up with my own. This recipe is fresh from bachelorhood, yet so good. Imagine the warm goodness of semi-spicy pintos oozing over steaming brown rice and cheese. It's the perfect combo of flavor and value. Enjoy, and let me know how it can be improved!
For a dried bean lover like me this is a little bit of heaven! I made this during the big freeze this week and ate it for two of the coldest days EVER in my area (Colorado). When it was all gone my 19 yr old was begging me to make it again RIGHT NOW! I always make recipes exactly as written the first time then play with it if I think it could be improved. NO PLAYING this time around! I'm a retired chef and would have proudly served this in my restaurant. Read More
sorry just not very inspiring. I'd rather just cook pintos in water and serve with smoked sausage which has been grilled. The apple cider vinegar gave this dish a "funny" taste. Read More

I followed the recommendations of other users and my own tastes to sub 1 cup diced onion for the dried onion and onion powder and I used a light kielbasa...as I was short on time I cooked for 2 hours on high and finished for 5 hours on low.... topped with shredded pepper jack and scallions as noted and served over rice.... really a terrific recipe that both my husband and I just loved. Thanks so much! Read More
Yummy! I couldn't really taste any bacon so that could probably be left out next time. I also used cloves of garlic and a whole onion because that's what I had on hand. This made the house smell great! Served it with tortilla chips and sour cream easy inexpensive dinner. Read More
We really enjoyed this! I was'nt sure the beans would get done with only a 30 minute precook and no soaking but they were tender. I still think next time I will soak overnight. That being said couldn't come up with the ranch beans used a can of hot chili beans instead. Put two hot home canned peppers cut in half in with the rest of the mix. Used regular vinegar out of apple cider kind! And totally forgot the bell pepper( which was ok anyway). Put over white rice with some cheese and scallions some cornbread and Mmmmmmmm. Good stuff Danger thanks! Oh one more thing the dried onions.. next time I will use regular onions I just like onions in with my pinto beans. I did cook this on high for 4 hours I just couldn't wait to taste it. Read More
This is really great. I have to admit not exactly what I was expecting but very tasty! I doubled the recipe. Also I went ahead & soaked the beans overnight then realized I didn't know how much water I'd used. So I had to guestimate on the liquid. I ended up using 1 qt 1 can of chicken broth (instead of water) plus about 2-3 cups of water. I also forgot about the green onion but doubt that mattered. Great Beans! Read More
Decent flavor. I was trying to make it a little more rounded so I removed most of the bacon grease and cooked an onion and the green pepper in with the bacon. Served with corn bread and a salad (would've been greens if the kids would eat them!) Read More
These beans are awesome. I used smoked sausage instead of kielbasa and fresh jalapenos instead of pickled and fresh onions instead of dried. Love this recipe it's a keeper! Read More
