Crock-Pot Mexican Red Beans

This simple and frugal recipe for Crock-Pot Mexican Red Beans is the perfect side dish for any Mexican meal. Or serve over cooked rice for a great entree!

Crock-Pot Mexican Red Beans

Slow Cooker Mexican Red Beans

If you need a delicious side dish to go with any Mexican or Southwest inspired dish look no further than this recipe for Mexican red beans cooked in your slow cooker.

The recipe starts with dried red beans that have been soaked overnight and then the beans are slow cooked for hours in water with onion, tomatoes, garlic, chili powder, salt and the kicker…BACON.

The bacon adds such a nice smoky flavor to the beans and really makes this dish fantastic.

I usually make these beans, as I mentioned, as a side dish for when we have Mexican food like enchiladas, burritos, tacos, etc. But I will admit that I also really love the beans as a main dish too and just served over some cooked white or brown rice. Beans and rice are a classic meal and frugal too!


Products Needed:

  • Large Skillet
  • Paper Towels
  • 6 Quart Slow Cooker (Or Larger)
  • Can Opener
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Liquid Measuring Cup

    Your recipe for Red Beans & Rice is actually a Cajun staple. Yummy, but not Mexican. I was raised on both staples, being born & raised 3 miles from Mexico & about 250 miles from La.

    For authentic Mexican bean, called Charro beans,(translating to Cowboy Beans) try using pinto beans, add some green chilis, (or Rotel in place of the tomato & chilis) use ham hocks, or a ham bone, and omit the chili powder. Add a bit of cilantro too. You can add a few chopped jalapenos too if you like. Add salt & pepper after the beans are completely soft to flavor.

    Add the onion, garlic, & water you mention above. Thought I’d clarify that.. that is an authentic Mexican pot of beans.

    Hi
    KimH that’s great! I adapted this recipe from an old Rival recipe and I am sure back in the 60’s (when my crockpot was born) they didn’t know a Cajun from a Mexican. Tastes good -that’s all I know!

    When cooking beans in a crockpot, if you are using red or kidney beans, you need to boil your beans rapidly on the stove for at least 10 minutes to kill a possible toxin lurking in the beans. It’s better to be safe than sorry!
