PINTO BEANS AND RICE IN A CROCK POT (OR ON STOVE TOP)

Pinto Beans and Rice in a Crock Pot (Or on Stove Top) image

This is one of those good ol' down home meals. Add a pan of cornbread and you've got it made! You can obviously make this spicier by adding more chili powder, cayenne, jalapenos or just pass the Tabasco. Please note that the time shown is an estimate only as there will be a variance of heat from one crockpot to the next.
