Ranch Beans With Beef Food

CROCK POT RANCH STYLE BEANS RECIPE

Steps:

• Place all of the ingredients in the crock pot in order. I like to put the water in last because it tends to 'mix' everything nicely together.
• If you do not like to mince garlic yourself, you can substitute 3-4 teaspoons of bottled minced garlic. (This is an indulgence, but it is a big convenience and sometimes you can find it marked down. Plus, one little bottle will last a long time.)
• Cook on low 8 hours or high for 5 hours.
• Serve hot and toss a pinch (or two) of shredded cheese on top for a little extra yum!

RANCH STYLE BEANS

Steps:

• Soak the beans covered in water-either overnight or the quick soak method in which you place the beans in a pot, cover with water, bring to a boil, cover and remove from heat and let sit for 1 hour.
• Drain the soaked beans.
• In a cast-iron skillet heated up to medium high, cook the anchos on each side for a couple of minutes (or until they start to bubble and pop), turn off the heat and fill the skillet with warm water. Let them sit until soft and rehydrated, about half an hour.
• In the pot you'll be cooking your beans, heat up a teaspoon of canola oil and cook the onions for 5 minutes on medium. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Throw the cooked onions and garlic in a blender and add the tomatoes, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, paprika, cumin, oregano, water, hydrated ancho chiles, and salt. Puree until smooth. Set aside.
• Add the pinto beans and beef broth to the pot. On high, bring the pot to a boil and then cover; turn the heat down to low and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
• At this time, stir in the reserved chile puree and then continue to cook the beans uncovered for another hour or until tender and the sauce has reduced. Taste and adjust seasonings. Serve warm.

COWBOY BEANS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground chuck and season it with salt, pepper, and chili powder. Remove the meat and drain off all but 1 tablespoon of fat. Cook the onions and bell peppers in the remaining fat until they are soft. Return the meat to the pan and add the beans, brown sugar, barbecue sauce and jalapenos. When everything is combined and the sugar has melted, pour it into a large baking dish and bake for 45 minutes.
