Ingredients

    2.5lbs Dried Pinto Beans
    10 Garlic Cloves
    2 Large Onions, sliced in half
    5 tsp Kosher Salt
    4 tsp Cumin
    2 tsp Coriander
    Water

Directions

Dump pinto beans into a 6qt crockpot. Add onion, garlic, spices and enough water to cover the beans with at least 3 inches of water on top. Cook until beans are soft, 7 hours high/10 hours low.

Remove beans from crockpot while hot and transfer to a mixer (kitchen aid if you have one with the flat beater) - make sure to retain a little water to help with mixing. Remove onions, but throw garlic into the mixer too for some flavor. Add salt and mix on low-medium beating until the beans are thoroughly mashed up.

Makes 15 one cup servings.

    Very Good

    I cut this recipe in half. I made 2 changes: 1. I added 1/2 teaspoon each crushed red pepper and chili powder. 2. I did not remove the onion before mixing using elect. mixer. As I plan on using as side dish for several meals, I kept some of the liquid in case I need to moisten as I reheat. - 1/20/10

    That's a good idea if you're going to keep some of the beans in the fridge for easy access. I froze the majority of the beans, so I didn't want them having a lot of water freezing with them. I'll have to try the red pepper and chili powder next time!

    Incredible!
    I used red pepper and chili powder too. These are great, easy, flavorful beans - thanks for the recipe. Making more now! Oh - and I kept the onion in too! - 3/17/11

    I will use this for several recipes. I will be using it again tonight to add to shredded chicken to make Chicken Burritos - 2/2/10
