Time 2h22m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups pinto beans, cleaned, soaked overnight in a non-reactive bowl and drained; liquid discarded
1 ham hock
1 bay leaf
3 cloves garlic, peeled
1 whole jalapeno chile
5 cups water
2/3 cup finely chopped white onion,
2 slices thick-cut bacon, finely chopped
4 ounces pork chorizo, casing removed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, bring the soaked beans, ham hock, bay leaf, garlic, jalapeno, and 5 cups of water to a boil over high heat. Cover the pan, reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 2 hours or until beans are tender. If the beans absorb too much water, add 1 cup of water after 1 hour and continue cooking (Beans mixture should remain soupy while cooking). Turn off the heat.
  • Cook the bacon in a large saute pan over medium-high heat until almost crisp, about 10 minutes. Add onion and cook for about 3 minutes or until translucent. Transfer bacon and onion mixture to the pot with the beans. Wipe pan clean. In same pan cook chorizo over medium heat until crisp, about 1 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the chorizo and drain on paper towels. Add to the beans. Season lightly with salt, if necessary. Stir the beans over medium-high heat until heated through. Remove the bay leaf and ham hock and discard. Ladle into bowls and serve.
  • Cook's Note: In place of soaking the beans, you can use 3 (15-ounce) cans rinsed and drained pinto beans. Proceed as above but reduce the cooking time to 1 hour.

I made this recipe for a potluck and it was a huge success! Everyone loved the beans and they were gone in no time. I'll definitely be making them again.

These cowboy beans are the best! They're so easy to make and they always turn out perfect. I love the smoky flavor from the bacon and the sweetness from the brown sugar. I always serve them with cornbread and coleslaw.

I was a little hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of beans. But I'm so glad I did! The beans were cooked perfectly and the sauce was delicious. I'll definitely be making this again.

These cowboy beans are the perfect comfort food. They're hearty, filling, and so flavorful. I love that they're also really easy to make. I just throw everything in the slow cooker and let it do its thing.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a winner. The beans are so flavorful and the bacon adds a nice touch of smokiness. I like to serve them with cornbread or mashed potatoes.
