Crock Pot Charro Beans | Easy Charro Beans Recipe

[@William1942-t2w]

Of all the presenters, you have the most pleasing voice, which makes your videos very enjoyable to see. Your information is clear and very, very useful. Thank you.

[@duckbilledmonfrogga]

So true

[@lostlatinlover]

Thanks for this video. I really need to unpack my CrockPot!! When I was a boy we didn't have a CrockPot. My mom would put beans on the stove first thing in the morning before we went off to school and she went off to work. It was my older sister's job to add water the beans when she got home from school. It was my job to add the water that she never remembered to do!!!

[@mindymartinez4657]

Daniel lol, good thing you were aware of those precious beans cooking

[@gabydoss2027]

Daniel I know it’s late but this made me laugh😂 My mom had the convenience to stay home and pretty much everyday there were beans on the stove. I think a few times my mom accidentally burned them when she went to get us from school and they ran out of water and that is the worst smell ever😂 I love my mama tho☺️

[@brewerfireguy]

Awesome

[@nailaILable]

I have struggled for so many years to cook beans. They never came out right. Just made these last night. Not only are they cooked right! They taste so amazing! Can't wait for everyone to try them. Thank you so much!!

[@mindymartinez4657]

Angelica Saavedra did you use the bacon?

[@tonygristina8372]

Thank you. El Paso in Louisiana serves charro beans and no one there knew the origin of the word. The beans there run from OK to great, depending on how long they have been on the stove, the longer, the creamier and better they get. I will try these today.

[@c_farther5208]

I know this is an old post, but "struggled" is the key word. From pressure cooker to oven, soak and not soak, I gave up. So, tonight, I bought a cheap 3 quart, bag of beans, and the food she mentions and I'm going for it. I saw your comment during this video and I thought, well, this is my last try and this Angelica said it worked. Well, we'll see in the morning.

[@miguelmarquez4192]

@@c_farther5208 what troubles did you have? Beans arent difficult, ts when you try to do stuff to it that they act up. They can be baked, boiled, crockpot, or pressure cooked each to suit a specific dish. But if you name the problem we can usually tell you the remedy. Also whats your altitude? High up in the rockies so i cant add salt til the end for example. It leaves the center uncooked and the outside falls apart. My mom is around sea level and can cook a perfectly firm outside and creamy inside bean and salt doesnt ruin her final product.

[@Brent3162]

C_ Farther , Well so how did it turn out? Inquiring minds want to know if you have given up or now have a go to recipe?

[@laurakearns1702]

Didn’t have chicken broth so i sub 4 tbsp of chicken bouillon and it worked sooo well!! I always come back to this recipe, thank you so much for sharing it with us ❤️ its so enjoyable to watch

[@thereseviewer1797]

This recipe is way more simple than cooking them on the stove top. Muchisimas gracias!

Yes! I agree. 👍

[@wallygator369]

Your husband and children are so lucky to have you cooking/loving them. Great genes and values from your mom and dad.

[@Oyares5360]

I know this recipe was posted in 2017, but I just came across it and wanted to make it in the slow cooker. The results were awesome and we were impressed! You know we’ll be making this from now on. Thank you Angelica 😊

[@AsTheAppleTurns]

This was my first time cooking beans that weren't terrible! They rocked and so yummy! I did mine in the Insta Pot on the Bean setting for 40 minutes. Let it saute at the end to create the bean soup consistency. OMG!!!!! Thank you!

[@ericmeadows64]

Chef Mama! I made these this weekend and my family loved them! I didn’t have chicken broth, So I use chicken bouillon cubes. Also I went out on a limb and I tossed in one link of chorizo. Thank you! You. Are. Amazing.

[@DailyDashOfLife]

Fancy crockpot. I love it. MMMMM they look good. I love a big pot of beans. My favorite part is the juice.

Yes, the soup is so good! :)

[@iluminameluna]

We don't have pinto beans where I live right now, only Red silk beans. Doesn't matter, I'm gong to make this recipe in a cpl of days, when I feel like I can stand up without falling! I used to eat charro beans when my ex's grandma would make them (she used a clay pot from Mexico!). I have missed them so much, as well as her. Such a lively, lovely lady! Thanks SO much for the recipe! I'll be toasting her and you with my first bowl!

[@cookiegirl2cookie197]

I'm a gringa just starting to learn the secrets of Mexican cooking, yes I have books by Rick Bayless and others but I find thatI'm learning the basic foundation from your no nonsence approach to every day foods. ( I'm also following Views on the road KZbin channel at times) so you are my main teacher. Much appreciated.

[@givengrace3162]

I also make my beans in the crock pot, but I use 6 cups. I find soaking them overnight, they soak up the water and expand. So once they go in the crock, I just cover them an inch or two with water, add minced garlic,, or fresh, can't overdo it, and a frozen jalapeno, which I freeze in bulk for my beans. I also do not add salt until the beans are about cooked. Oh, and if I have some, I add manteca lard, but just a regular spoon full, to give it that extra flavor. That's it. I start them in the morning and they are ready for dinner. Loved this video because it reminded me how my mom used bacon, but hubby doesn't prefer bacon with beans. Also, want to try the cilantro because when I've added the onions and tomatoes, they were delish.

[@sandy-mr5gj]

i did not believe beans would cook so perfectly without presoaking but they sure did and were great. I let mine go an extra hour to thicken the soup. thx so much Angelica!

[@kristinaandthegerman4554]

Never have I made beans in a crockpot. Several of my friends do. But I have very fond memories of each Sunday my Abuelita or my mother cooking a pot of beans for the week. Oh, and I have to note that I love you actually use all of your ingredients. There are so many other channels that I watch to where they dump in and lots of it is left and I’m like get a rubber spatula and add that to your stuff!

[@leyley1970]

OMG!!! you and I cook the same..I am glad I found your channel...I am Filipino and my adoptive Dad is Mexican..I learned how to cook from my aunt and I also cook Filipino food..

[@jocelynmonasterio8004]

leyley1970, there are no charo beans in the Phils. What I can use instead?

[@kathyharmon2093]

@@jocelynmonasterio8004 can you find navy beans or great northern beans?

[@SunshineMichelle]

This was so good. I decided to do this on a whim so used what I had, Camellia beans, some chopped up pork jowl that I had straight out of the freezer, a can of tomatoes, water, an onion, and a big spoon of Better than Bullion. Cooked overnight. OMG right out of the pot. Refried some with bacon fat. Just great, thank you.

[@jerrycole1530]

You have a laid back style which makes it enjoyable to watch your videos. Thanks

[@lonacole1259]

Best I’ve ever had! I grew up adding chili powder to pinto beans. I will never go back to my old way of cooking pinto beans now that I tried your version. Keep the videos coming because I learn how to cook Mexican food from you.

[@athena9557]

I don't think I have ever commented on here before, but I just wanted to say I use this recipe all the time and absolutely love it!

[@suziew5447]

The BEST crockpot charro beans!!!! I made these today. Thank you Thank you!!!🙂🙂🙂

[@caroltellier7048]

I am no cook but your recipes inspire me to try them. You make them seem much more do able and they always look delicious, and I love Mexican food and beans

[@wonkygirl9056]

I'm so happy to have found you here on U-Tube. My mom and grand-mom were southern cooks, so I followed that way of cooking. After watching you, I'm sure I can prepare some delicious authentic dishes. Muchísimas gracias !

[@rhondadorst3553]

Best beans ever. Thank you for this great recipe! ❤

[@ssy12335]

I had everything be ause cooking all week long and making enchiladas, etc so had the dry beans. You sold me on the delicious smell in the house when you woke up. I just put this in the crockpot. I'll let you know in 8 hrs, Thanks!

[@lindas78]

I really like that you can crock pot at night while you sleep and meal ready in the morning , especially if you have extra company after Thanksgiving or Christmas ! I love the simplicity of your recipe ! Thanks Mama ...

Yes! I find it really convenient especially for beans. 😊

[@kaseysalazar4486]

Thank you for explaining how to cook without rambling. You have very lovely speaking voice and it’s easy to watch your videos from beginning to end. I really wanted to learn how to make beans but went through 5 vids because either it was too complicated or they were awful. Thank you ma’am hope to learn from you in the future.

[@cindystrother7710]

LOVE crockpot recipes THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING AND GIVING YOUR TIME TO TEACH PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO CAN NOT COOK YOU ARE FABULOUS

[@Siamesemama1]

I hope you see this, a few years later. These are the Tastiest Mexican beans EVER, soooo good!!! "¡El Mejor!" Muchas Gracias😺

[@eddieb35]

Love it! I will never make charro beans/ refried beans ( video) any other way. You are my new best friend! And the music you played when you started loading the Crock-Pot got me in a good mood for cooking. I must say thank you for all your recipes that I enjoy. 👍

[@user-sb3wh3dd4v]

Charming! I enjoy your mellifluous voice, concise commentary and steady camera shots. Nice music too!

[@irenedelagarza344]

These beans are so delicious and versatile. I will add easy to make in the crock pot

This looks awesome! I also love the selection of music :-) the smooth jazz lounge music is so fun to watch awesome things being made :-) thank you for the recipe!

[@jdean1610]

Hello today I made your crockpot Charo beans it came out awesome my wife and I love it thank you for the recipe and also would like your rice with a V-8 we tried it it was good and we also tried your green salsa And we also tried asada it came out great thank you very much more to come keep putting out

[@rosetijerina9307]

Made them , they were a hit, I was skeptical but you have never me wrong...delicious

[@vanessamadrigal7769]

I’ve made pinto beans in the crock pot, they were already cooked at 4&1/2 hours for me. I still let it cook 8 hrs if I’m goin to be gone all day anyways. Thank you so much for sharing your recipes, I love them!

[@gabbyperez9993]

Thank you for sharing your recipes!! There's times when I don't know what to cook on a short notice but cooking these beans overnight is perfect!! 😊😊

[@c_farther5208]

Okay, went to Menard's and got a 3 quart Hamilton Beach for 14.00 dollars. Went to Meijer and got everything you talked about. I have a countdown timer so it will go off in 8 hours on high. I sure hope this all works. After I saw this video and how easy this was, I had to do it!!!!!!!! 11/12: Came out great, omitted the meat, I don't trust meat in the slow cooker because most don't go above the 120 degree mark. Enjoyed this immensely. Mine were so thick, dumped it on rice. The beans were not overcooked at all, the skins stayed on, absolutely perfect. Like having mashed potatoes in the middle of the bean, which I understand is perfect. Gosh, this was so easy and great.

[@gails.mcfarland1632]

I used a pressure cooker once , no twice to cook my beans. I was so pleased how fast they cooked & how well! I stirred them smooth using a pair of chopsticks. Wow! I learned why they get soaked, if not using crockpot method. WARNG TMI A few hours after eating out of nowhere ,came the cannonball sized peros ? perros? Not dogs but the other.... A lot Going to make your chicken & cheese fried burritos TY

[@beetleguy79]

Put this in the slow cooker last night. This morning, my house smells delightful and the charro beans taste amazing! Thanks for sharing.

[@JasonSmith-qx3zh]

I use broth for everything. Cook down with water rehydrate with broth glad to see some of the best use it too.

[@rachaelnikkola8257]

Made this exactly as written and this turned out fantastic! I made refried beans with them that was out of this world delicious! Thanks for a wonderful recipe!

[@adriannmartinez6569]

Made this recipe for the first time for a work Christmas potluck and everyone loved it! I’m going to make them again for Christmas Eve! This time I’m adding chorizo. 😋

[@GrannyMetalheadTV]

I made these last night and these were the BEST charro beans I ever had! Hubby gave them 2 thumbs up and he doesn't even like beans. Thanks for sharing your recipe!!

I AM SO THANKFUL I FOUND YOUR CHANNEL YOU ARE FABULOUS

[@felixvega5890]

Thank you for showing your Charro Beans recipe by crock pot. I love charro beans and had never learned quite how to make them. My trial and error ways never really measured up to my mom’s charro beans. Now I know. 👍

[@denise12303]

OMG! I just made this and they are out of this world! Originally, I didn't have any jalapenos so instead I added some of my homemade hot sauce. I ended up going to the store later on and got some jalapenos. I put one in there after about halfway through the cooking time. My charro beans came out spicy but I don't mind that one bit since I love spicy food. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

[@ericgriffin247]

My wife and I just recently discovered charro beans. Love them! Just tried this recipe and loved it! Keep it up Mama!

[@leilanij2567]

These are amaaazing beans!! I used 2 tomatoes instead of 1, dried cilantro instead of fresh (didn't have fresh in hand) and only 5 slices of bacon but rest the same. I love the smokeyness the bacon adds. Next time I have to try fresh cilantro though. Another absolute hit.

[@pennyinaz]

Thank you so very much for this delicious recipe, Angelica! I made this a couple of weeks ago, and my family loved it! I started it after my husband went to bed, and he woke me up around 3 am asking what was cooking. I had to move it to my laundry room to finish cooking for the night because it made him so hungry....LOL. I made it exactly like your recipe, and I will never buy canned beans again. On the same day, I made your Chorizo recipe, and it was awesome too. Congrats on going to the KZbin workshop. I hope you have a great time. Thank you again for your generosity and friendly manner. You are a special person! With love from Tucson :O)

[@mrsmendez421]

Thanks for this recipe !! My 6 yr old helped make them ( gotta teach them young) lol. We woke up to our house smelling good..☺️😋

[@DianeH2038]

tried this recipe today, for the first time. OMG! I didn't have bacon on hand, but instead I added a bit of fat leftover from when I made chicken adobo. I think any fat would work, but a flavorful one is best. anyway, these are hands-down the best! I ate them simply, with homemade soft flour tortillas (also your recipe) and some grated cheese, and that "peasant's meal" felt like a feast.

[@MsChopperdog]

I just found you`re Channel a few weeks ago. Sure glad I did! These are going in my crock pot tonight. Can`t wait to taste them in the A. M. Thanks !

Hola. I’m a new subscriber after watching many other Mexican cooking channels. Great tone to your presentation. I like your confident calming voice, your modest and very clean kitchen and that jazz combo playing in your living room has a great groove. You’ll have to pan the camera over and show them one day! Oh, did I mention the food? Mexican cuisine is one of the world’s great cuisines. Thanks for the inspiration to try it at home.

[@lauravasquez5165]

Curious as to how many servings this makes? Would it be enough for 6 adults?

[@sheryljones5207]

Oh so good know it smelt so good. Would loved to have some with some baked cornbread over rice.

[@nancyarchibald9095]

This is how I make them as well. Many times I use a chopped green bell pepper and then add 1-2 Tbsp chile sauce (siracha brand in the Asian aisle). Also, some greek seasoning (very flavorful and full of garlic). For my large family, I will use about 1.5 lbs of carnitas meat. I have frozen portions that I just plop on the top. I then add much more water and cook on high for 8 hours. SO GOOD!! I will eat them for breakfast and lunch...

[@melissacrowley6824]

I just made these today and me and my husband loved them. The only thing I wish I did different was put all the veggies in a mesh bag. Thank you so much for the recipe!❤

[@Brent3162]

@alyssaSage why would you need the mesh bag? The veggies are what make the beans delish?

I Love these 🫘 beans ❤ im to make it in my slow cooker. Thanks for your delicious 😋 recipe for charro beans. ❤ . ✌️. 🌎. 🕊 🕊 🕊 Merry Christmas 🤶 2023 🎉 2😊24. 👋 see you for now.

[@sarahgilleland5397]

Just made these. I ended up using the whole bunch of cilantro and a small container of cherry tomatoes. Instead of salt/pepper, I used 1 tsps of chicken bouillon while it cooked and added more for taste. Might have come out to 1.5 TBS of chicken bouillon. They taste amazing.

[@luvroflifepray4890]

I used all the ingredients you stated but in the 21st century for me the pressure cooker is the way to go...came out delish..it only takes 1 hr 15 min..perfect beans all the time...

[@jaxsonsmith8261]

Charro beans are my favorite

[@oltedders]

We just bought a slow cooker from our favorite resale shop and the 1st thing I cooked was charro beans! This beats hovering over the stove to make sure they don't burn.

Yes! I agree! 😊👍

[@sergiobojorquez6513]

Seems delicious! Will try. Just as a tip, instead of putting the uncooked bacon or ham in so it cooks in the broth you can also cook it in a seperate pot for a bit so it releases the fat, cook there the ingredients and then throw your cooked beans (which you cooked in the crockpot) in the pot. In my experience it releases more flavor and texture like that and gives your vegetables more flavor.

[@L1sa-L1sa]
