How do you make your beans? What type of bean do you use? What is the recipe? Please post. I LOVE Mexican style beans. Remember, I live in New England and most of our beans are baked. Sweet with molasses or maple syrup. Okay, but I miss my Abuela's beans.

I have gotten lazy about making my beans, but the COD still loves them.
I use pinto beans. Make a pound at a time. Buy the one pound packs and make them in the crockpot.
Throw them in there and fill it with water. I used to use "real" onions, but now I use McCormick Chopped Onions - about a tablespoon.
After that "cooks" for about an hour, I toss in a cube of Knorr's Chicken Bouillon and one of Beef Bouillon.
After that cooks for a while, I will add Knorr Mi Arroz Rojo seasoning. Don't add a full pack, just by taste.

I started using the Mi Arroz after I asked the owner of a cafe here in town how they made their Mexican rice . She told me that was their "secret". The Knorr seasonings!
I used to used the salt pork, real garlic, real onions, real cumin - and now - this is easier. And the COD can't tell the difference.
I let the crockpot go for at least 6 hours. I like them nice and tender.
