Ingredients
  • 1 onion, peeled and halved
  • 3 cups dry pinto beans, rinsed
  • ½ fresh jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 5 teaspoons salt
  • 1¾ teaspoons fresh ground black pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cumin, optional
  • 9 cups water
Instructions
  1. Place the onion, rinsed beans, jalapeno, garlic, salt, pepper, and cumin into a slow cooker. Pour in the water and stir to combine. Cook on High for 8 hours, adding more water as needed. Note: if more than 1 cup of water has evaporated during cooking, then the temperature is too high.
  2. Once the beans have cooked, strain them, and reserve the liquid. Mash the beans with a potato masher, adding the reserved water as needed to attain desired consistency.
