Ingredients
- 1 pound Pinto beans Dry
- 1 cup Onion Roughly chopped
- 1 can Green chiles 4 oz. can
- 2 tablespoon Garlic Finely minced
- Salt To taste
- Pepper To taste
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- ½ teaspoon Chili powder
- 4.5 cups Water
- 4.5 cups Broth Low sodium, Chicken or vegetable broth
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients in a 6 quart slow cooker and mix everything together.
- Cover and cook on high heat for 8 hours.
- Place a colander in a large pot and pour the contents of the crockpot in, returning the beans back to the crockpot. Reserve this water in case you need to thin out the mixture later.
- Use a hand-held immersion blender or potato masher to puree the beans until smooth. If mixture is too thick, mix in a little reserved bean water. Please note that the beans will continue to thicken as they cool and you can always mix in a little of that bean water to reach desired consistency.
- Garnish with shredded cheddar cheese and enjoy!
