Steps:
- Soak your dried pinto beans in a large bowl covered with 3 inches (or more) of water for at least 4 hours and up to overnight. Rinse and drain beans.
- Place beans into slow cooker with water, cumin, salt, onion and garlic powder, olive oil, diced onion, and a can of diced tomatoes with green chilis.
- Cover and cook on high for at least 6.5-8 hours. Test for desired tenderness near the end of cook time.
- For Whole Pinto Beans: Serve with the bean juice for more of a soup-style pinto bean bowl, or use a slotted spoon to strain the bean juice.
- For Refried Pinto Beans: Strain desired amount of beans, reserving the bean liquid. Using a potato masher, smash beans in the crockpot or another pan (maybe you'll want to save some whole beans for another meal), adding bean liquid as needed to reach desired thickness. You can also use your blender to puree beans quickly, but be super careful - they're hot! Also note that refried beans tend to thicken quickly as they cool, so be sure to start out with a slightly runny texture.

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.

SLOW-COOKER PINTO BEANS
If you have yet to cook beans from scratch and own a slow cooker, this is the recipe for you! It comes together with pantry ingredients, requires minimal prep and thanks to the slow cooker, you'll be rewarded with plump, perfectly tender beans with almost zero hands-on time. (Navy beans would also work well here.) Seasoned with warm spices and pickled jalapenos, they are a great side dish. Or serve them over rice or with warm tortillas as a meal.
