How to cook Mexican beans in the Slow cooker
Ingredients:
2 pounds (1 kg) of beans
16 cups of hot water
1 tablespoon of salt
2 cloves of garlic
¼ of an onion
Start by cleaning the beans, and removing any impurities or debris.
Place the beans in a colander and rinse them thoroughly under a stream of cold water.
In your slow cooker, combine the cleaned beans, salt, garlic, and onion. I used the Reynolds slow cooker liners for easier cleaning.
Add the hot water, then cover the slow cooker. Now you have two options:
If you want the beans to cook in four hours, set the cooker to “High.”
If you plan to leave them cooking overnight, select the “Low” setting for six hours.
You’re all set! Once the beans are ready, you can serve them directly from the slow cooker.
You can also use them in various dishes, such as soups, stews, and more. Alternatively, transform them into flavorful charro beans or refried beans to enjoy with tostadas or your preferred side.
With these steps, you’ll have perfectly cooked beans ready to enhance your favorite meals.
