Slow-Cooked Flavorful Beans
Ingredients
  • 3 cups dry pinto beans, rinsed
  • 1 onion, peeled and halved
  • 1/2 fresh jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 5 teaspoons salt
  • 1 3/4 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cumin, optional
  • 9 cups water
Instructions
1
Collect and prepare all necessary components.
2
Combine the beans, onion, jalapeño, garlic, salt, pepper, and cumin in a slow cooker. Pour the water over the ingredients to ensure they are well-coated.
3
Cook the mixture on High for an extended period, approximately 8 hours, or until the beans have reached a very tender state. During this time, replenish the water as required to maintain the desired level of moisture.
4
Once the beans are cooked, remove them from the slow cooker and strain the liquid to reserve it for later use.
5
Transfer the cooked beans to a large, shallow container. Utilize a potato masher to crush the beans into your preferred texture, supplementing with the reserved cooking liquid as necessary to achieve the desired consistency.
