Dave Ramsey Slow Cooker Beans and Rice Recipe

If you’re familiar with Dave Ramsey you know that he loves to eliminate debt and he is famous for telling people that they need to cut their budget and live off of “beans and rice and rice and beans!” Yes, beans and rice are very inexpensive but I actually really love beans and rice and so do my kids. They love going to Mexican restaurants and stirring the rice and the beans together and gulping them down. But really why go to a restaurant when you can make them at home for a fraction of the price?

This Dave Ramsey Slow Cooker Beans and Rice Recipe starts with dried pinto beans. I have learned that the best way to get dried beans to get to the perfect consistency is to soak them overnight in salty water. I put 2 cups of beans, 6 cups of water and 1 tablespoon of salt together in a large bowl and let them soak for 8 hours or more. Then the next morning I drained off the water and rinsed the beans and added them to the slow cooker with 4 cups of water. I like to cook my beans naked with no seasonings and then when they come to the desired consistency I drain off extra water and add in seasonings. With these beans I just added some garlic powder, tomato sauce, cumin and salt. I garnished the beans with snipped cilantro and served over white rice (we usually eat brown rice but I let the kids have their way for once). So yummy! I didn’t even miss the meat.

What Slow Cooker Did You Use?

For this recipe I used my beloved 6 quart oval KitchenAid slow cooker. I love this slow cooker because it cooks evenly and low. I also love this slow cooker because it has a neat timer with satisfying beeping buttons as well as a medium setting for those days where you start your slow cooker at an in-between time. If you’re in the market for a new slow cooker I definitely recommend this one!

      I don’t have one for this recipe. But it would be easy enough to do! Soak pintos overnight. Then use fresh water to pressure cook them in for 15 minutes. Drain off excess water. Then stir in the garlic powder, tomato sauce, cumin and salt. Heat up using saute setting and serve over rice.
