Slow-cooked Pinto Beans

These soaked overnight and cooked for a while on the stove, but didn't require much attention. It was a perfect recipe for another day full of studying.

Makes 3 (3/4 C) servings
100 calories per serving
Takes about 3 hours| active time: 5 minutes | +overnight soaking

Ingredients:
1 C dried pinto beans
1/2 onion, chopped
chicken bouillon cube
1 tsp minced garlic
1/2 T cumin
1/4 C salsa
pepper to taste

Rinse the soaked beans and place in pot with 2 cups water. Add all ingredients and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer for at least two hours. I cooked mine for at least 4. If you continue to cook the beans, you should add additional water as needed. I added another 2 cups. If you have a slow-cooker, this recipe could definitely be adapted.
