Sometimes you get tired of canned beans.
Sometimes you look at your budget and cry.
Sometimes you need to spice up some things.
And to these reasons, I shall reply…
With a delicious recipe!
I know, really cheesy poem…. but now comes the good stuff!
These two types of beans begin the same way.
2 bags of red kidney beans (rinsed and soaked properly)
2 cups of Homemade Salsa
4 tbsp Onion Powder
1tbsp Garlic Powder
2 jalapenos sliced
Place all in a crockpot, add enough water to cover beans, and cook on low for 10 hours.
Once done, you can now either make Charro or Refried Beans
Refried
Place beans, minus liquid, into a food processor. Add a stick of butter (or two…for super creamy beans). Blend. Add salt (or Adobo seasoning, like I did) to taste.
Charro:
Add a whole bunch of cilantro, chopped
Add 5 strips of bacon, diced.
Add 1 medium white onion, diced.
Simmer until bacon is cooked through. I just set the crockpot on low for about 5 more hours.
Enjoy!!!
