Big Crockpot Full of Pinto Beans

Ingredients

Directions

1. 1

   Sort and rinse beans with 3 waters (from one container to another 3 times).

2. 2

   Place in a 5 to 6 quart crockpot with soaking water overnight (my preference, but it can be cooked without pre-soaking).

3. 3

   Note: a 4 quart crockpot will be absolutely full, but I have used a 4 quart pot.

4. 4

   Drain soaking water and add water to cover by 1 to 1.5 inches.

5. 5

   Add smoked turkey pieces.

6. 6

   Cook for 10 hours on low.

7. 7

   Add salt and peppers to taste.

8. 8

   Note: I have used cumin, thyme, and oregano for seasoning, but basic salt and pepper is very good).

9. 9

   Serve with cornbread.
