Crock Pot Mexican Roast Pinto Beans Recipe 385

Steps:

• Place pinto beans in bottom of crock pot.
• Add rotel, green chile, spices and onion and mix.
• Place roast on top. Add water or beef broth to cover beans completely and about half of the roast. You may need to add more liquid during cooking so check periodically. Cook on high for 6 hours or until roast starts to fall apart and beans are done.
• Add salt and pepper to taste, then gently pull apart roast to desired size and serve like soup with warm flour tortillas.
• Do NOT add the salt before the beans are fully cooked or your beans will not get tender!

Steps:

• Cover pinto beans with water in a large bowl; allow beans to soak overnight.
• Place onion, green bell pepper, celery, garlic, Black Forest ham, soaked pinto beans, cumin, oregano, bay leaves, and lard in a slow cooker.
• Pour enough chicken broth into the slow cooker to cover the other ingredients.
• Cook on High until beans are very tender, 5 to 6 hours.

Steps:

• Pour the rinsed and drained beans in the bottom of a 6-qt. crock pot. Set aside. In a small mixing bowl, stir together the undrained Rotel tomatoes, chopped onion, and all the seasonings (including the bouillon granules). Pour mixture over the beans and give it a little stir. Lay the roast on top and season the surface with a little garlic salt, salt, and black pepper. Add enough water to cover beans and about half of the roast. (May need additional water during cooking.) Place the cover on the crock pot and cook on HIGH setting for 4 - 5 hours, or until roast falls apart and the beans are tender, adding more water as needed. Taste and adjust seasonings to your taste. Serve with plain tortilla chips or cornbread. Can be garnished with sour cream, salsa, etc., if desired. I served with a side of corn.
