INGREDIENTS

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 large yellow onion, diced
  • 2 TBSP paprika
  • 2 TBSP ground cumin
  • 1 TBSP garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • salt & pepper
  • 1 pound dried pinto beans, rinsed
  • 1 cup plus 7 cups of water
  • OPTIONAL FOR SERVING:
  • warmed tortillas
  • shredded cheese
  • sour cream
  • diced onion
  • diced jalapenos



DIRECTIONS

  1. Add the ground beef and onion to a saute pan over medium-high heat and cook, occasionally stirring and breaking up the beef, until the beef is browned and the onion is softened, about 8 minutes.
  2. Stir in the paprika, cumin, garlic, cayenne, and 1 tsp salt.
  3. Pour 1 cup of the water into the pan then use a wooden spoon or spatula to scrape any stuck on bits from the bottom of the pan.
  4. Transfer the contents of the pan into a large slow cooker.
  5. Stir the beans and remaining 7 cups of water into the slow cooker with the beef mixture.
  6. Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook, on LOW heat, for 7 to 8 hours or until beans are very tender.
  7. Drain the contents of the slow cooker in a colander over a large pot, reserving any liquid.
  8. Transfer the drained beans and beef back into the slow cooker.
  9. Add about 1 cup of the reserved liquid back into the slow cooker then use a potato masher to mash and stir the beans until well mashed, creamy, and thickened, adding more of the reserved liquid until you come to a desired consistency.
  10. Season with salt & pepper to taste.
