I made these using smoked ham hocks and Mexican ham broth (from the Latino Isle of our grocery). I did add a bit more liquid about halfway through, but my oh MY these were so good! My suggestion is to get the smokiest meat you can find because that makes the difference. Alter the heat as you wish. You can always add more but it’s hard to take it away.

Thanks for sharing such a delicious Charro recipe. I especially appreciated all of the helpful options for cooking the beans. I did reduce the spices some to tailor the recipe to our family’s spice preference, and I ended up using four cans of pinto beans with the stovetop method. My husband comment twice on how delicious the recipe turned out. I am sure Charro Beans will be on our menu for dinner much more frequently now!

In reply to Mary. @Mary, all I can suggest is to add extra liquid, as this isn't something I experienced in my slow cooker :(

Was anxious to make this dish. Unfortunately, it’s about half way thru cooking and barely any liquid. Recipe stated using 1/2 the broth??’

In reply to Kathleen D. You can adjust the level of spiciness to your personal preference. Just leave the chilies out of the recipe if you prefer.

How spicy is this? I’m not a big fan of hot spicy.

In reply to Sylvia. You can saute the bacon with the onions and peppers if you like, but can also just be tossed in.

In reply to Michelle. Should the bacon be fried before adding to the rest of the ingredients in the instapot?

I believe you have the Crock-Pot times switched. High should be less time than low. I’m making this tomorrow!!

In reply to T Hettinger.

Thanks for bringing my attention to the paprika situation – I had missed it from the recipe itself and have corrected it now.

Yes, you could bake it in the oven, I have updated the post to reflect your question and the answer

Why do talk about paprika when there is none in the recipe. Also, can I make these in a large pot in the oven? If so what temp and for how long? Thanks
