Instead of adding meat, I just put in a couple tablespoons of bacon grease. I also doubled the water and the salt, and they turned out perfect. Easy, cheap and yummy. Thanks!

Paula, These are the best pinto beans. Delicious and so easy to make, when I came home from work the house smelled so good. I didn't change a thing , except I used a big slice of ham cut into chunks, yum. Oh, I did bring the beans to a boil on top of stove then let them set for 1 hour(this really gets rid of gas), then drained them, put in crockpot with other ingredients, cooked them 8 hours. Dh loved them served them with flour tortillas and a side salad. I will be making then again, so easy using the crockpot, I usally make them on top of the stove. Thank you Paula, for posting the recipe.

These turned out SO good! It was just me and the kids that night. I put out mini flour tortillas and all the fixings (grated cheese, sour cream, salsa, lettuce, tomato, mexican rice) and everyone just built one mini burrito after another. The kids have asked several times since if I will make them again. That's not something you would have heard from me as a kid! But they were THAT good!
