Slow Cooker Pinto Beans

These beans turn out fabulous in the slow cooker! I developed this recipe after finding too many hard beans after cooking with a pot on the stove.

Step: 1

Cover pinto beans with water in a large bowl; allow beans to soak overnight.

Step: 2

Place onion, green bell pepper, celery, garlic, Black Forest ham, soaked pinto beans, cumin, oregano, bay leaves, and lard in a slow cooker.

Step: 3

Pour enough chicken broth into the slow cooker to cover the other ingredients.

Step: 4

Cook on High until beans are very tender, 5 to 6 hours.
