SLOW COOKER PINTO BEANS AND SAUSAGE

Mar.posted by Paula 13 Comments

Jump to Recipe

Slow Cooker Pinto Beans and Sausage are simple to make with incredible flavor. These beans slow-cooked all day for some delicious comfort food.

I would serve these with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of chopped chilantro, and cornbread! You may also want to spoon them over rice or quinoa.

SLOW COOKER PINTO BEANS AND SAUSAGE

There are so many attributes to these beans. They are great to feed a crowd, pantry staples, and budget-friendly too. Probably the most important is taste and they taste exceptional! Very delicious!

You can enjoy these as I did or you can add them to soup, chili, tacos, and burritos.

PINTO BEANS ARE NUTRITIOUS

Pinto beans are extremely nutritious. They’re an excellent source of protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. As well, they’re rich in antioxidants and aid in blood-sugar regulation.

Slow Cooker Pinto Beans and Sausage are simple to make with incredible flavor. These beans slow-cooked all day for some delicious comfort food.

SOAKING DRY BEANS

  • 24-hour method: Place the dried beans in a large bowl and cover them with cold water. Allow to soak for 24 hours. Drain and rinse the beans before proceeding.
  • Quick method: (I prefer the 24-hour method. It seems as if the beans get softer.) Add beans to a large pot and cover with hot water. Bring to a boil and boil for 2 minutes. Turn off the heat, cover the pot, and allow the beans to sit in the hot water for one hour. Drain the beans and rinse them with cold water before proceeding with the recipe.
  • Instant Pot: If you forgot to soak the beans and really don’t want to wait you can 1. use canned beans 2. use an Instant Pot pressure cooker. I don’t have an Instant Pot but I found this cooking time guide for you.

SUBSTITUTIONS

  1. You can use any kind of sausage as well as ground beef, ground turkey, or ground chicken.
  2. Also, you can add bacon if you wish. You can add as much or little bacon as you want. I would add 1/4 pound, cooked then crumbled and added for the last hour.
  3. Furthermore, you can omit the meat altogether.
  4. You can add more chili powder if you desire. I didn’t want them to taste like chili and used 1 teaspoon.
  5. If you like spicy, you can add chopped jalapeno or ground cayenne pepper.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound pinto beans soaked overnight and drained
  • 1 pound pork sausage
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 6 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons beef bouillon paste
  • 2 tablespoons chipotle peppers in adobo sauce chop the peppers, or just adobo sauce.
  • 10 ounces tomatoes with green chiles undrained
  • 6 medium cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cumin

Instructions

  • In a skillet, brown your pork sausage and onion and drain.
  • Place the beans, beef, and 6 cups of water in the slow cooker.
  • Add the remaining ingredients and stir gently.
  • Cover and cook on high for 4 to 5 hours or low for 8-10 hours. I like to stir the beans a couple of times during the cooking process. It seems the help the beans to cook consistency so that some aren't hard while others are mushy.
  • You can serve these beans with a slotted spoon for a side dish or with a ladle as a soup!

    I made this today for the first time in my crockpot. I used Italian ground sausage and I added also a ham hock. It turned out to be delicious. All of my family members enjoyed it! I will definitely make this again. Thank you much for the recipe.

    Queestion: what type of pork sausage do you recommend? There’s so many flavors of sausage out there and I’m not certain which might work best.
    I have smoked pork sausage links handy. Will those do?

      Yes, you can use the links. I used regular ground pork sausage.
