I made this for tonight's dinner. I've already tasted the final product and it is very good.
 
 Vencil's Slow Beans
 Vencil Mares, The Taylor Cafe, Elgin, TX
 Makes 6 cups
 
 I cut the recipe in half.
 
 2 cups dried pinto beans
 1/2 onion, finely chopped
 1 tbsp chili powder
 1 tsp ground black pepper
 1 cup finely chopped cooked bacon
 1 tsp salt, or more to taste
 6 cups water
 
 Sort the beans to remove any stones or grit. Rinse in a colander and place the beans in crockpot with 6 cups of water. Add the onion, black pepper, chili powder, bacon and salt.
 
 Cook on HIGH for 2 hours. Lower to LOW and cook for another 8 hours or overnight.* Add more water as needed.
 
 Risa's notes:
 
 * My crockpot seems to cook things very quickly. 4 hours after I started the dried beans they were soft and done. I added some salt, after the cooking, not during. Rumor has it that cooking dried beans with salt toughens them. I haven't tested that out so I don't know if it is true.
 
 These are mighty-tasty beans!
