Slow Cooker Charro Beans

bacon

pinto beans

water

beef broth

garlic (minced)

jalapeno (diced (optional))

cumin

garlic powder

chili powder

cilantro leaves (chopped)

Salt & black pepper

Place the beans in a colander, rinse well, and remove any stones or shriveled beans.

Cook the bacon until just crispy. Drain, chop, and set aside.

Pour the beans into the slow cooker. Cover with water and beef broth. Add chopped bacon, garlic, jalapeño (if using), cumin, garlic powder, and chili powder. Cover and cook on low for 7 to 9 hours or until almost done. Stir in the Rotel and chopped cilantro; cover and cook for an additional hour or until tender (the total cooking time will likely be between 8 to 10 hours, depending on how hot your particular slow cooker runs). When the beans are done, season with salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste (stir in 1/2 teaspoon of salt at a time, tasting before adding more).

Borracho Beans 

15 ounces canned pinto beans, drained and rinsed

bacon,

onion, diced

jalapeno, diced

garlic cloves,

ancho chili powder

oregano

salt

tomatoes

oz dark beer

brown sugar

cilantro,

In a dutch oven over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Leaving as much bacon grease as possible, remove the bacon from the pot and set aside to crumble once cooled.

Add the onions and jalapeño to the pot and cook for 4-5 minutes or until onions are translucent. Add the garlic and spices. Cook for an additional minute, stirring constantly.

Add the drained beans, tomatoes with juices, and beer. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 18-20 minutes.

Stir in brown sugar and remove from heat.

Top with cilantro and crumbled bacon. Serve hot.

Tender and creamy Borracho Beans (Frijoles Borrachos) are an easy Mexican dish made from pinto beans simmered in beer with bacon, onions and tomatoes.

Borracho Beans (Frijoles Borrachos)

onion, (diced)

jalapeño

garlic, (minced)

ancho chili powder ((or regular if you don't have ancho))

oregano ((Mexican oregano preferred))

dark lager beer ((I used Negra Modelo))

dark brown sugar

cilantro

Pour the beans into a large bowl. Pick out and discard any beans that are shriveled or split as well as any small rocks that may have made their way into the bag.

Fully cover the beans with water (at least 3 inches over the top of the beans) and set on the counter to soak for 8 hours or overnight.

Drain and rinse the beans under cool water. (They will have doubled in size during the soaking process!)

Transfer the beans to a large pot or Dutch oven. Add 10 cups of water (and the optional ingredients if using them).

Bring beans to a boil, then reduce heat to a low simmer. Cover and cook for 2 to 2 1/2 hours. (I recommend checking them at the 2 hour mark and giving them a taste. They should be tender and fully cooked through, but still a little firm and not mushy. Cook a little longer if they&#039;re not quite done.)

Drain cooked beans, transfer to a large bowl, and set aside. Rinse and dry the pot.

Return pot to the stove and heat over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and crispy. Transfer the cooked bacon to a plate lined with paper towels and set aside.

Add the onions and jalapeno and cook for 5 minutes, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pot.

Add the garlic, chili powders, dried oregano, salt and ground cumin. Stir and cook for 30 seconds.

Add the cooked pinto beans, diced tomatoes, beer and brown sugar. Stir together to combine and bring to a low simmer.

Simmer the beans for 15 minutes and remove from heat. Stir in the chopped cilantro and crispy bacon. Serve immediately.
