Ingredients

15 mins
12 servings
  1. 1 lbdried pinto beans, well rinsed and picked through
  2. 1 canMexican beer (or whatever is on hand)
  3. 1Ham Hock
  4. 4Slices of smoked bacon, chopped
  5. 1Onion roughly chopped
  6. 2Jalapeños, seeded and chopped
  7. 1 canChipotle seasoned stewed tomatoes
  8. 8 ozdiced Green Chilis
  9. 2 tbspMinced Garlic
  10. Pinto beans seasoning, I use a couple generous shakes
  11. 5 cupwater, covering beans
  12. 1Chicken bouillon cube, low sodium
  13. 1 tbspgarlic powder - optional
  14. sea salt
  15. black pepper

Cooking Instructions

15 mins
  1. 1

    Spray your crockpot with cooking spray generously. Rinse and pick through the beans well.

  2. 2

    Cut onion rougly. Rinse, deseed, I leave half of the seeds in, and cut Jalapeños, mince garlic, rougly chop bacon.

  3. 3

    Pour ALL ingredients into crockpot, add enough water to cover beans (we like a lot of the juice so I make sure the beans have an extra 1-2, 3-5 inches of water). Now turn on high 4-5 hrs or on low 6-8 hrs OR until beans are tender, still slightly firm, but not mushy. I've learned that every crock pot is a little different in cooking times.

  4. 4

    Ok, I admit it, I taste the juice every so....well...frequently, to make sure the spices are mixing well and that I've added enough. The recipe is a basic go to and i usually end up adding more pinto bean seasoning and garlic powder.

  5. 5

    Remove the ham hock when it starts separating from the bone. You can add salt and pepper to taste right before serving, the boullion cube and ham hock can add a salty taste. If desired, Serve with toppings of your choice. (I serve with sweet homemade corn bread.) Don't forget to let me know what ya think!

I love my job answering 911 and dispatching law enforcement but i have to admit.....I love to cook and put my own twist to any recipe. I would do it full time if I could, in my own restaurant. .of course. Beware...i do not actually measure when I cook. I totally eye ball it and taste..taste ...taste! I get my inspiration from recipes of all kind and from all sites then I add my own flare. I hope you enjoy my recipes and please add your seasonings and twist to all! I love feedback and want to know how you mix it up. Thank you!
