If you’re familiar with
Dave Ramsey
,
you know he loves to eliminate debt and is famous for telling people they need to cut their budget and live on “beans and rice and rice and beans.” Yes, beans and rice are very cheap, but I actually love beans and rice, just like my kids. They love going to Mexican restaurants and stirring rice and beans together and swallowing them. But why really go to a restaurant when you can make them at home for a fraction of the price?
This
recipe for slow-cooked beans and rice from Dave Ramsey starts with dried pinto beans. I’ve learned that the best way to get dried beans for the perfect consistency is to soak them overnight in salt water. I put 2 cups of beans, 6 cups of water and 1 tablespoon of salt together in a large bowl and let them soak for 8 hours or more. Then the next morning, I drained the water and rinsed the beans and added them to the slow cooker with 4 cups of water. I like to cook my beans naked without seasonings and then when they reach the desired consistency, I drain the extra water and add seasonings. With these beans I just added some garlic powder, tomato sauce, cumin and salt. I garnished the beans with chopped cilantro and served over white rice (we usually eat brown rice, but I let the kids get away with it for once). So delicious! I didn’t even miss the meat.

Which slow cooker did you use?
For this recipe I used my beloved 6-quart KitchenAid oval slow cooker. I love this slow cooker because it cooks evenly and low. I also love this slow cooker because it has a neat timer with satisfying beep buttons, as well as a medium setting for those days when you turn on your slow cooker in an intermediate time. If you’re looking for a new slow cooker, I definitely recommend this one!
