This is one of those good ol' down home meals. Add a pan of cornbread and you've got it made! You can obviously make this spicier by adding more chili powder, cayenne, jalapenos or just pass the Tabasco.

1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon oregano

This was okay. I found that I needed to cook the beans much longer than 3 hours in the crockpot. When they were done, I felt like they were lacking something. I can't put my finger on it, but maybe some bacon or ham would be good in there. I did add some cornstarch and it thickened them up nicely. Thanks for the recipe!

What a great recipe!! It's so easy, inexpensive, and filling. I love the spiciness. I crumbled up Jiffy cornbread in mine. It's difficult to get my husband to eat healthier options...especially with rice, but he ate a bowl big enough for two servings! This one is a keeper!

This is an awesome bean recipe. You just throw them in a crockpot and forget them. They smell wonderful cooking and taste even better. I did add a little cornstarch and water to thicken (just personal preference). My husband took one bite and said I should make them when his mother comes to visit. High praise indeed! I will definitely make these over and over again. Thank you for the recipe.

I found this recipe after I had cooked the pinto beans in the crockpot most of the day. I added in the seasonings and the rice and enjoyed a simple healthy meal. Thanks!
