Slow Cooker Pinto Beans image

The best healthy slow cooker pinto bean recipe! Easy to make, perfectly flavored, and naturally vegan! Enjoy these straight up in a bowl or use them in any recipe, whole or mashed as refried beans!

Provided by Kate

Categories     Side Dish

Time 11h5m

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups dried pinto beans ((2 lb))
8 cups water
1/2 cup diced onion
15 oz canned diced tomatoes with green chilies
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp cumin
1 Tbsp onion powder
4 tsp salt
1.5 tsp garlic powder

Steps:

  • Soak your dried pinto beans in a large bowl covered with 3 inches (or more) of water for at least 4 hours and up to overnight. Rinse and drain beans.
  • Place beans into slow cooker with water, cumin, salt, onion and garlic powder, olive oil, diced onion, and a can of diced tomatoes with green chilis.
  • Cover and cook on high for at least 6.5-8 hours. Test for desired tenderness near the end of cook time.
  • For Whole Pinto Beans: Serve with the bean juice for more of a soup-style pinto bean bowl, or use a slotted spoon to strain the bean juice.
  • For Refried Pinto Beans: Strain desired amount of beans, reserving the bean liquid. Using a potato masher, smash beans in the crockpot or another pan (maybe you'll want to save some whole beans for another meal), adding bean liquid as needed to reach desired thickness. You can also use your blender to puree beans quickly, but be super careful - they're hot! Also note that refried beans tend to thicken quickly as they cool, so be sure to start out with a slightly runny texture.
