Easy, Quick And Tasty Basic Beans (Crockpot) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 lbs pinto beans (or black beans)
3 tablespoons salt
3 garlic cloves, whole but smashed
1/2 onion

Preparation

Rinse the beans in a colander.
Pour beans into the crock pot and cover with water. Allow the beans to soak a few hours or overnight. Note: If you are short on time the beans do not have to be soaked but I think that it helps with the cooking.
Add salt, garlic and onion.
Add any water necessary to fill the crock pot.
Cover and cook on low 8 hours or on high 4-5 hours.
Eat and enjoy.
Will make approx 12 cups of beans (24 1/2 cup servings).
