That looks like a Texas approved use of beans. All kidding aside that sounds wonderful. I save the occasional hard bottom I get on a hot fast brisket with the crisp ends I cut off to chop up for beans. They add great flavor.

Straight into Paprika. Thank you! This could be my first use of RG beans.

Has anyone tried this recipe yet? My only concern would be the brisket not get tender. BUT, it sounds awesome and I think I might give it a shot this week.

This probably tastes good, but I must say it isn't Texas style. This seems to be more of a "Boston baked beans in a slow cooker" recipe. Ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar? All part of a baked beans recipe. [FYI, the vinegar slows the cooking down so that the beans don't turn to mush during a long bake (or a long slow cook), which is required for baked beans.] They probably call it a "Texas Style" because it uses pinto beans instead of white or navy beans.
I made Brisket Beans this weekend and I can assure you it was Texas through and through. No sugar, ketchup, vinegar, mustard, or fake smoke flavoring. But it did have jalapenos, onion, garlic, and salt. If you soak the beans overnight, it cooks in about an hour or so. Much simpler and authentic.

I love the sound of this. More my style. On my list to try.

Def not Boston style, no molasses. The molasses in Boston Baked Beans is just as important as the beans Haha!

I personally like texastweeter ‘s recipe he gave me a few years ago for’Cowboy Beans.’ At least I’m pretty sure it came from him. I usually mix in previously smoked brisket but these are good even if I don’t.

2 strips Bacon
2 Packs of Dried Pinto Beans
1 Large Onion, chopped
2 Cloves Garlic, minced
1/4 tsp Ground Cumin
2 Bay Leaves
1/2 tsp Ground Black Pepper
32 oz. Beef Broth
1 14 oz can of Tomatoes. (Whole, diced, or crushed)
2 fresh Jalapeño peppers finely chopped
Salt and pepper to taste.

I now add 2 onions instead of one, a full tablespoons of cumin, 2 guajillo chilis, 2 tablespoons anchor chili powder, 2 tablespoons smoked paprika, and one bunch cilantro chopped. This is usually accompanied by 1 brisket worth of trim that has been ground

[texastweeter]

Is an evolving recipe.

[Donw]

Thank you texastweeter . I’m going to add your changes to my stored recipe

I gave this recipe a try a few weeks ago with some brisket I'd had frozen. I gotta say, turned out really well. Even my picky kids liked it and asked for seconds. Only mistake I made in execution was that I should have added more liquid to the slow cooker since I was cooking overnight. Had a couple burned spots on the bottom of the pot.
