Categories     Beans

Time 9h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (16 ounce) package dry pinto beans
2 tablespoons baking soda
1 tablespoon fiesta pinto bean seasoning
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 tablespoon pepper
1 small onion, cut into chunks
ham hocks, ham bone or 2 cups cooked ham

Steps:

  • Sort your beans and remove and broken pieces or pebbles. I use one 16 oz package of beans. Place in a large bowl or pot, covering with water.
  • Add the baking soda to the water, and let the beans soak at least 6 hours or overnight. After 6 hours or overnight drain the water from the beans.
  • Add the beans to a 6 quart crock pot and cover with fresh water. You want the beans to be covered by at least one inch.
  • Add the pinto bean seasoning, sugar, vegetable oil, pepper and onion. Taste the beans after several hours of cooking and add more seasonings if you think it needs it. I used a total of one tablespoons pepper.
  • Add one of the following for additional seasoning, one ham hock, ham bone, or slice of country ham cut into pieces.
  • Place lid on crock pot and cook on high for about 6-8 hours. make sure the beans stay covered with water, so check occasionally. If you need more water, then add it. The beans should have a soup consistency.
  • In 6 hours, test beans and if they are cooked. Remove ham bone and pull of the meat or remove meat from ham hock and serve. Don't forget the wedge of cornbread.

The beans were a little too sweet for my taste. I think I would use less brown sugar next time.

The beans were a little too spicy for my taste. I think I would use less cayenne pepper next time.

The beans were a little undercooked for my taste. I think I would cook them for a little longer next time.

This is a great recipe for busy weeknights. I just throw all the ingredients in the crockpot in the morning and dinner is ready when I get home. The beans are always cooked perfectly and the flavor is amazing.

I was hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of ham, but I'm glad I did. The ham flavor was subtle and the beans were delicious. I served them with cornbread and collard greens and it was a perfect meal.

This was my first time making pinto beans in the crockpot and they turned out great! The beans were cooked evenly and the ham added a nice smoky flavor. I will definitely be making this recipe again.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit. The beans are always cooked perfectly and the flavor is amazing. I usually add a little bit of cayenne pepper for a little extra kick.
