Pinto bean stew
1 lb dried pinto beans (check for stones and debris).
Soak in warm water for an hour.
While beans soak -
Cut up 1 lb. of smoked beef sausage (we like Eckrich best but others will do well too.) I slice the sausage and then halve the slices so they'll fit on a spoon when eating. NOTE: do not cook the sausage. It will cook in the crock pot.
Drain the soaking water from the beans and rinse.
Put beans in a 6 quart crockpot with 32 oz of chicken stock or beef stock plus 1 cup of water.
Add the sausage and a tablespoon of minced garlic.
Set on high and cook for 4-5 hours (depends on your crock pot brand).
Serve with rice, jalapeño salsa, Dave's smoked cheese, chopped onions, Fritos, or whatever makes your gut happy.
