Ingredients

3 cups dry pinto beans, rinsed
1 onion, peeled and halved
½ fresh jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
2 tablespoons minced garlic
5 teaspoons salt
1 ¾ teaspoons fresh ground black pepper
⅛ teaspoon ground cumin, optional
9 cups water

Directions

Place beans, onion, jalapeño, garlic, salt, pepper, and cumin into a slow cooker. Pour in water; stir to combine.
Cook on High until beans are very tender, about 8 hours; add more water as needed.
Strain beans and reserve cooking liquid. Transfer beans to a large, shallow bowl. Use a potato masher to mash beans, adding reserved cooking liquid as needed to reach desired consistency.

Tips

If more than 1 cup water has evaporated during cooking in step 2, then the temperature is too high.
