RANCHERO BEANS

Ranchero Beans image

Mexican style beans with the most delicious broth. I never bother to soak these beans, or pour off the first boil of water. This is the way we've cooked Mexican beans in my family for generations. But, if you're a stickler for bean ritual, feel free to presoak, et cetera, to your heart's content.

RANCHERO BEANS

Ranchero Beans image

These are great on a cold night for dinner. While this recipe is for being doen on the stove top, I've often done it in the crockpot. I just don't saute everything, but throw it all into the crock, including the already fried bacon. Aso, when I use the crockpot, I'll often substitute out the can of beans for a multi-bean pack that I'll soak overnight (start them out in hot water) before I cook them in the crockpot. This was adapted from a recipe by Ingrid Hoffman on Food Network's Simply Delicioso.
