HOMESTEAD COWBOY BEANS



Homestead Cowboy Beans image

I have an enormous family and all of the men go trail riding several times a year and these beans are one of the things they look forward to. My aunts and I put together their favorite combination several years ago, and have it ready at their camp, and they are some happy cowboys! You can mix different beans to your liking (lima, kidney, etc.), but the boys in our family like this mixture the best.

Tips:

  • Use dried beans for the best flavor and texture. If using canned beans, rinse them thoroughly before adding them to the slow cooker.
  • Soak the beans overnight before cooking them. This will help to reduce the cooking time and make the beans more tender.
  • Add plenty of flavorings to the beans, such as garlic, onion, cumin, chili powder, and smoked paprika. You can also add cooked bacon, sausage, or ground beef for extra flavor.
  • Cook the beans on low heat for 8-10 hours, or until they are tender. You can also cook them on high heat for 4-6 hours, but check them more frequently to make sure they don't overcook.
  • Serve the beans with a side of cornbread, rice, or tortillas.

Conclusion:

Cowboy beans are a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a casual meal. They are easy to make in a slow cooker, and they can be customized to your own taste. Whether you like them spicy, smoky, or cheesy, there is a cowboy bean recipe out there for you.
