Crock Pot Pinto Beans

Ingredients:
amount of pintos that you want
salt
pepper
garlic powder

Directions:
First figure out how many beans you want to cook, then wash them several times until the water runs clear. Put beans in a pot with water to cover and bring to a boil. Turn heat off and let sit for 1 hour. Pour beans and water into your crockpot add water just to cover (water doesn't evaporate in a crockpot). In my crockpot it takes 4 to 5 hours to cook on high. After about 3 hours season the beans. They will be done when the juice is a dark rich brown. The secret to good beans in a crockpot is to take out a cup or so and mash them and then return them to the bean pot. This makes them thick and good.
