1 lb Dry Pinto Beans
1 Red (or yellow) Onion
2 Slices Bacon(or 1 Ham Hock)
1 tbsp Crushed Garlic
1 tbsp Cumin
1 tsp Black Pepper
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
1 Jalapeño(seeds removed)
¼ cup Cilantro(cilantro is better but can be substituted with 1 ½ tsp dry oregano and 1 bay leaf)
1 Can Rotel Tomatoes with Cilantro and Lime(Or Fire-Roasted Rotel)
1 Bottle of beer(12 ounces any variety)
1
Place the beans, bacon (or hock), onion, Rotel, and all the spices in the pot or crock pot.
2
Pour the bottle of beer over the beans. Fill the bottle with water and add to the pot two times. (That's 24 ounces total for the water.)
3
In the slow cooker, cook on Low 8 hours or on High 5 hours until the beans are tender. (my crock pot required more time, like 6-7 hours on high)
4
Just before serving, shred any meat off the ham hock, return it to the beans and discard the skin and bones
