Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound pinto beans (rinsed and picked over)
  • 1 quart chicken stock
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 onion (left whole)
  • 1/2 jalapeno (left whole)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions
 

  • The night before, place the pinto beans in a bowl and cover with water by a few inches, as they will absorb water overnight.
  • The next day, drain and thoroughly rinse the pinto beans. Add the beans and all remaining ingredients to the slow-cooker.
  • Stir all ingredients in the slow-cooker to combine them well.
  • Cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the beans are tender. Remove the onion and jalapeno halves before serving.
  • Season to taste with additional salt and pepper if desired before serving. Enjoy your creamy pinto beans!
