Cowboy Beans Recipe For The Crock Pot
Ingredients For Cowboy Beans
1. 2 cups pinto beans (dried)
2. 1 tbsp bacon fat
3. 1 tbsp vegetable oil
4. 1 yellow onion (chopped)
5. 1 tbsp minced fresh garlic
6. 1 smoked ham hock
7. 2 cups water
8. 2 cups coffee (black)
9. 1 1/2 cups barbecue sauce
10. 1/4 cup pickled jalapenos (chopped, optional)
11. Monterey Jack cheese (grated for garnish optional)
12. 1/4 cup red onion (chopped, garnish optional)
Place ingredients 1 - 10 in your crock pot or slow cooker and turn on high for eight hours. Keep the lid on tight and resist the urge to peek. You do want to check about every two hours to be sure the beans are not getting to dry. If they do add a cup of black coffee.
These are some of the most fantastic beans that you will ever eat in your life. You can put the jalapenos in or not. I almost always do and even little kids love them. Especially over the Chuckwagon Biscuits below.
