    I have to admit I usually eat canned beans, which in retrospect feels like bourgeois decadence. But I make pinto beans from scratch and they're delish, way better than canned and super creamy.

    I use a crock pot because that's what I have on hand. I wonder if pressure cookers are common enough these days that you can find them cheap at a thrift store.
