For a richer flavor, consider adding a smoked ham hock or a piece of bacon to the slow cooker along with the other ingredients. Adjust the amount of jalapeno peppers to your preference for heat. Remove the seeds for a milder flavor. These pinto beans are delicious on their own, or served as a side dish with your favorite Mexican-inspired meals. They also make a great filling for tacos, burritos, or enchiladas.

Jan 12, 2025Soaking the beans overnight really makes a difference. They cook up so much creamier.
