Charro 'Cowboy' Beans In A Slow Cooker Frijoles Charros | Glen And Friends Cooking

How to make Charro Beans or Cowboy Beans In A Slow Cooker... a slow cooker is the perfect way to make these cowboy beans - throw everything in, and forget it. Like I say in the video, there are many versions of this recipe. Different meats, no meat, different beans, a mix of beans, beer, spicing, etc, etc, etc. You can really make this recipe your own!

2 small onions, minced
2-3 jalapeño, diced
