SPICY SLOW COOKER PINTO BEANS



Spicy Slow Cooker Pinto Beans image

This makes a lot of beans--a 7-quart slow cooker's worth! This is not fast cooking, but low and slow. And it's not a low-calorie/low-fat meal. My mother started this recipe and was a staple in our home growing up. My brother has perfected it and shared it with us. Serve with anything you desire. In our home, it's tortillas and eggs! These freeze well and reheat/refry beautifully.

SPICY PRESSURE COOKER PINTO BEANS



Spicy Pressure Cooker Pinto Beans image

Adjust the amount of jalapeno to suit your taste, or use a mild or hot salsa instead of medium; I would not like these any spicier than they already are. I make these in a pressure skillet, a shallow version of a pressure cooker. The beans are soupy, but you can cook them a little longer in the open pan to reduce the liquid if you prefer thicker "juice". I use Herdez salsa casera for this.

Time 32m

Yield 3 1/2 cups, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup dried pinto bean, rinsed and picked over
1 smoked ham hock
2 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped
1 cup chunky salsa, medium heat
3 cups filtered water
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Steps:

  • Throw it all in the pressure cooker and cook 27 minutes.
  • Let it cool down on its own before opening, the salt and acid in the salsa make the beans a little firm and the carryover cooking is beneficial.
  • Boil, uncovered, for a few minutes to reduce the sauce.

Time 6h30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 (16 ounce) cans pinto beans, drained
4 lbs country-style pork ribs, trimmed
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 medium onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, diced (optional)
3 garlic cloves, minced (optional)
1/2 teaspoon cumin (optional)
1 (10 1/2 ounce) jar red jalapeno jelly (Used Ghost Pepper Jelly!)
1 (18 ounce) bottle hickory flavored barbecue sauce
1 teaspoon green chili sauce (Tabasco Makes a green Jalapeno sauce but use any hot sauce of choice)

Steps:

  • Place beans in a 5-quart electric slow cooker; set aside.
  • Cut ribs apart; sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Place ribs on a broiling pan. Besides browning for taste this removes some of the fat.
  • Broil 5 1/2 inches from heat 18 to 20 minutes or until browned, turning once.
  • Add ribs to slow cooker, and sprinkle with onion, garlic, and pepper.
  • Combine jelly, barbecue sauce, and hot sauce in a saucepan; cook over low heat until jelly melts. (I just added right to the beans and it melted in with no problem).
  • Pour over ribs; stir gently.
  • Cover and cook at HIGH 5 to 6 hours or at LOW 9 to 10 hours.
  • Remove ribs.
  • Drain bean mixture, reserving sauce.
  • Skim fat from sauce.
  • Arrange ribs over bean mixture; serve with sauce.
  • Serve on a bed of rice.
