Slow Cooker Baked Beans With Chorizo And Lime Recipes

SLOW COOKER BAKED BEANS

Steps:

• The night before, combine the Great Northern Beans and water in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, and cook for 1 1/2 hours. Pour beans and their liquid into a bowl, cover and refrigerate overnight.
• In the morning, drain off liquid, reserving 1 cup. Pour beans and the reserved liquid into the crock of a slow cooker. Stir in the salt pork, onion, molasses, brown sugar, mustard and pepper. Cover, and cook on Low for 12 to 14 hours. Stir before serving.

SLOW-COOKER BAKED BEANS WITH CHORIZO AND LIME

Steps:

• In a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker, combine the soaked beans, chorizo, onion, garlic, chicken broth, tomato purée, sugar, butter, tomato paste, onion and garlic powders, red-pepper flakes, cumin and paprika. Season with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt (or 2 1/2 teaspoons if using unsalted stock) and a generous amount of black pepper. Using a spatula, stir well to combine, then smooth the top of the mixture to submerge as many beans as possible. (It's OK if some poke out of the liquid.) Cover and cook on high until the beans are very tender, about 6 hours.
• Stir in the lime juice and cilantro. Taste, and add more salt or pepper if desired. Serve with hot sauce.
