CROCK POT RANCH STYLE BEANS RECIPE

Steps:

• Place all of the ingredients in the crock pot in order. I like to put the water in last because it tends to 'mix' everything nicely together.
• If you do not like to mince garlic yourself, you can substitute 3-4 teaspoons of bottled minced garlic. (This is an indulgence, but it is a big convenience and sometimes you can find it marked down. Plus, one little bottle will last a long time.)
• Cook on low 8 hours or high for 5 hours.
• Serve hot and toss a pinch (or two) of shredded cheese on top for a little extra yum!

PERFECT PINTO BEANS

Steps:

• Put the beans in a large bowl, cover with cold water and let soak overnight.
• Drain and rinse the beans, then put them in a large pot. Cover the beans with water and add the chili powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne, bacon, garlic, bay leaves, onion, bell pepper and some salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cook until the beans are tender, 2 to 3 1/2 hours.
