What you need:

1 lb dry pinto beans, rinsed and sorted 1 onion, diced 2 jalapenos, diced and seeded (or chipotle peppers) 3 garlic cloves, minced 3 tomatoes, chopped 4 pieces bacon 1 green pepper, diced 1 tbsp cumin 1 tsp kosher salt 1 tsp dried oregano 1/2 tsp black pepper 6 cups low sodium chicken broth, boiling ( or vegetable broth) 1/4 cup cilantro See Recipe

Step 1 Chop the bacon slices into small pieces and saute until crispy in a small pan. See Recipe

Step 2 In your slow cooker, add the beans, onions, jalapeños, pepper, tomatoes, garlic, salt, cumin, and oregano. See Recipe

Step 3 Cover the beans with about 6 cups of boiling chicken or vegetable broth. You could also use water but I like the additional flavor of broth. Make sure the water is boiling – this essentially eliminates the need to soak the beans overnight and is a good trick when cooking beans in the crockpot. See Recipe

Step 4 Add in the crispy bacon and the bacon drippings from the pan. Stir together and cook on low for 6-8 hours until beans are soft and tender. See Recipe
