Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups dry pinto beans
  • 1 1/2 cups of dry kidney beans
  • water to cover the beans by 4 inches
  • 16 ounce can crushed tomatoes
  • 2 cups frozen corn
  • 1 TBSP Chili Powder
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 cups salsa
  • cayenne to taste or not at all
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  • rinse the beans and place in the crockpot
  • cover with water, you need about 4 inches of water ABOVE the dry beans
  • cover and cook on high until beans are cooked through, in my crockpot, this is about 6-8 hours
  • once beans are cooked through drain off most of the cooking water, leaving just 1-2 cups, more if you like it that way, in with the cooked beans
  • add the tomatoes, corn, spices, salsa, and cayenne if you're using it
  • taste for salt, add some as needed
  • cover and let it cook another hour or so
  • taste for salt and spices, add more of anything you need
