Homemade Mexican pinto beans
Sort & clean beans then rinse. Cover beans with water in crock pot and let sit over night. If water is absorbed add more.
Once beans have soaked overnight, cover with 6 cups of water. Add the chopped onion, jalapeno, minced garlic and bacon strips cut into pieces. Salt & pepper.
Cook on low in the crock pot for 6-8 hrs. Serve with shredded cheese on top.
The beans can be frozen, so making a bigger batch is a great idea. Add more bacon, garlic, jalapeno to taste. If you have left over baked ham or a left over ham bone it could be used in place of the bacon. For vegetarian, omit bacon.
Left over beans can be frozen or refried. Great with fried eggs & tortillas.

These are the best beans I’ve ever made! I’ve always been a purist about beans (just beans and either ham or bacon, -nothing else added except salt) because that’s the way my grandma and mom always made them. But, after making and eating and loving these, -this is my new way to make beans. The flavor is so great! Thank you so much!
