Making pinto beans is easy. It is more cost effective than store bought pintos and they are simple to make. I followed directions from the blog, A Year of Crockpotting, and they turned out great! Last night, we enjoyed a nice bowl of Vinegar and Pintos with corn muffins.

The beginning: beans, water, salt, pepper, and salt cured ham

After 8 hours of cooking on high

3 containers to go in the freezer, 1 small container to go in the fridge for Mexican Casserole, and 1 bowl for tonight’s supper.
If you’re trying to save money in the kitchen, try making pinto beans!
