Slow-cooked pinto beans with bacon, sausage, and tomato served over brown rice, topped with cheese and green onions.
Ingredients:
  • 2 slices bacon
  • 8 cups water
  • 2 cups dry pinto beans
  • 0.5 pound kielbasa sausage, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1 (15 ounce) can ranch-style beans
  • 0.5 cup dried minced onion
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons pickled jalapeno peppers
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground paprika
  • 0.5 cup chopped green onion
Instructions:
  • In a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat, cook the bacon, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Let it cool before crumbling.
  • 1. In a large saucepan, bring water to a boil and add pinto beans. Simmer until beans soften, around 30 minutes, then transfer everything into a slow cooker. Stir in bacon, kielbasa, ranch-style beans, tomato paste, dried onion, apple cider vinegar, pickled jalapeno, sugar, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. 2. Set the slow cooker to Low and cook until pinto beans are very tender, approximately 9 to 10 hours.
  • Just before serving, mix in diced green peppers and garnish with chopped green onions.
