Yep - southern-cooked Pinto's with one of our favorites - Peanut Butter! Top of stove or Crock Pot - Both turn out excellent! A little different but really good! I'm a real southerner but not too southern to try a new variety of something...

Time 8h10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lb fresh pinto beans (dry) picked & washed in cold water
1/4 lb salted side meat/ fat back/ hamhocks
2 qt water (more or less depending whether using crock pot)
1/4 c peanut butter (smooth)
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/4 c canola oil
3 Tbsp granulated sugar
1 Tbsp black pepper, ground

Steps:

  • 1. Place beans in crock pot, cover with water (about 4 inches to cover), add all ingredients minus sugar and peanut butter. Adjust crock pot to cook overnite on Low for 8 hours. If using stovetop method cook beans as in recipe as usual. You will need to replenish water often as necessary and keep heat adjusted to medium.
  • 2. During the last hour of cooking (stove top method)add sugar and peanut butter stirring well. Lower heat and continue stove top cooking method for remaining 1 hour.
  • 3. ps - Using crockpot to cook beans I add the sugar and peanut butter after they finish cooking and stir well while they are still hot. Enjoy! Another favorite for fried cornbread!
