Pinto beans, a staple ingredient in many cuisines, are known for their mild, nutty flavor and creamy texture. When combined with the robust smokiness of kielbasa, they create a hearty and flavorful dish that is both satisfying and comforting. This article presents two distinct recipes that showcase this classic combination:
1. **Slow Cooker Pinto Beans with Kielbasa:** This recipe takes advantage of the slow cooker's ability to create tender, fall-off-the-bone meat. Pinto beans, kielbasa, onion, garlic, and a blend of spices simmer together in a flavorful broth, resulting in a hearty and comforting stew that is perfect for a cozy meal.
2. **One-Pot Pinto Beans and Kielbasa:** For those seeking a quicker option, this one-pot recipe delivers a delicious meal with minimal effort. Pinto beans, kielbasa, and a medley of vegetables are cooked together in a single pot, creating a vibrant and flavorful dish that is ready in under an hour.
Both recipes included in this article offer a delicious and versatile take on the classic pinto bean and kielbasa combination. Whether you prefer the slow-cooked tenderness of the first recipe or the convenience of the one-pot version, you're sure to find a recipe that satisfies your taste buds.

Steps:
- Preheat the broiler to high with a rack set 2-inches from the heat source.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the kielbasa rounds, cut-side down, and cook until browned, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook for 1 minute more. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Cook the remaining rounds until both sides are browned. Add to the plate. Reduce the heat to medium, add the onion, and cook, stirring, until soft and slightly browned, about 5 minutes.
- Add the tomato paste, brown sugar, vinegar, and chipotle to the onion. Pour half a can of beans (including the bean liquid) into the skillet and mash with a fork until creamy. Then add the rest of the beans (including the bean liquid), the cooked kielbasa, 1/2 cup water, 1 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of pepper. Simmer until thick and creamy, about 20 minutes.
- Toss the hot dog bun cubes with the melted butter on a baking sheet and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Broil until toasted and browned, flipping occasionally, about 2 minutes.
- Divide the kielbasa and beans among 4 bowls. Top evenly with the hot dog bun croutons and pickle relish.

PINTO BEANS WITH MEXICAN-STYLE SEASONINGS
Pinto beans are simmered with onion, tomatoes, chili powder, cumin and garlic. I love making these beans just because they make the whole house smell so good, and the longer they simmer the better they taste. You could add 1/2 can of beer to make 'borracho' beans. I personally taste-test throughout the entire cooking process and add extra seasoning as I feel it needs it. These beans could simmer all day long; just make sure they have plenty of water to keep the beans covered.
