Ingredients

1 lb Dried pinto beans rinsed and picked over
4 cups Vegetable broth
2 cups Water
2 Bay leaves
1 1/2 tablespoons Adobo seasoning

Instructions

Place the beans in a 6-quart slow cooker. Add the vegetable broth, water, bay leaves, and adobo seasoning and stir.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, or until the beans are tender.
Serve and enjoy!

Notes

I like to use a mixture of broth and water in my beans, but feel free to use all water, all broth, or chicken broth. If using water, make sure to season the beans a little more with adobo or other seasonings.
I did not soal the beans before adding them to the slow cooker. If soaking beans overnight or doing a quick soak, reduce the cooking time.
Slow cookers can vary in the amount of time it takes for beans to soften. If using a smaller sized slow cooker, it may take longer for your beans to cook.
