Well, I'm a native Texan and have been making pinto beans for years and years and years and thought I would try something new. Well, my grandma's recipe (which uses tomatoes, bacon, etc.) may have to go on the back burner for awhile because these were fantastic and loved by the entire crowd. I cooked them for several hours until they were nice and tender and followed the recipe exactly using the green salsa. This one is definitely a keeper.

I have made this recipe atleast a dozen times and it comes out awesome every time. My little tweeks: I use canned diced jalapenos to taste and I stick it in the crockpot on low all day. Also, I always soak the beans the night before. Great beans!

This recipe is awesome! I didn't have canned chicken broth, so I just reconstitued dry bullion cubes. I also substitued Pace picante sauce for the green salsa. It turned out great. Increasing the garlic doesn't hurt, either.

Very easy and yummy. I mixed everything the night before and let it soak overnight. Served it over brown rice. It was a super easy, low-fat dinner for my family. I left out the jalapenos and used red salsa instead of green. I also added more garlic, pepper, salt and cumin to taste after about an hour of cooking.

Fantastic! I increased the garlic by 1 clove and did not use jalapenos. This was also cooked on low in my crockpot for about 8 hours. Delicious when paired with Grandmother's Buttermilk Cornbread from this site. We had that bread with these beans tonight and it was like comfort food. Thanks for the recipe!

Awesome Recipe. I did change a few things just because that is all I had on hand and they still came out with a really good flavor. I substituted onion for an envelope of onion soup mix and jalapeno for a can of green chilies and used pace picante sauce instead of the green salsa. I also added ketchup to the beans just because that is what my mother in law always does. The beans did take longer than two hours to cook though. I will next time follow the suggestion of another reviewer and soak the beans over night. Thanks for such a great recipe!

I left out the jalapeno, being the wimp that I am. Glad, too, since this has a bite anyway. Uh...the beans were still a tad "crunchy" & I cooked 'em 2 1/2 hours. (Maybe you are supposed to cover these with a lid?!?) I would advise to use a slow cooker or use a lid or cook longer. I also added a few tablespoons of bacon bits. These would be very good if you cook them until soft.

This is a good, low-fat recipe for beans. I followed the recipe, except I did soak my beans over night, and I did add a lot of water. I gave 4 stars instead of 5 because we just prefer our beans cooked with meat (sausage, bacon or ham bone..not so low-fat!).

We cooked this in a pot for about 8 hours. It was excellent. We cooked the beans at a cook-off and won first place. I strongly recommed this!!
