Now that Fall has arrived it is time to pull out those new recipes and get to cooking! I have lots of yummy recipes to share with you so let the cooking begin!
So my first recipe of the season is at the request of my fiance. He is a meat and potatoes kind of guy so pinto beans were right up his alley. I asked if he would rather have seasoned canned beans but no, no dried beans were what he wanted. I did some research to figure out how to prep the beans and recipes recommend for cooking time. After my research I gathered my ingredients and went to work.
Here is what I decided on:
Slow Cooker Pinto Beans w/ Smoked Sausage
Ingredients:
1lbs. dried pinto beans
3 celery ribs, chopped
2 green bell peppers, chopped
1 sweet onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp Creole seasoning
2 cups of chicken broth
1 package smoked sausage, sliced
How To:
Soak dried pinto beans in a stock pot overnight. Pour beans into the pot and fill up with water to completely cover the beans with a the water line about half an inch above the top of the beans.
Once beans have soaked, combine all ingredients into your crock-pot and add 1to 2 cups of beef or chicken broth to mixture.
Cover and cook on HIGH for 8 hours or until beans are tender
Serve with rice if desired!
