I like a good pot of pinto beans, I like them with lots of meat and onions. However, today I made some quite a bit different for me and man did I like them. I started with the usual beans, salt and pepper with garlic and lots of onions. I was going to add some bacon and maybe some ham but I noticed half of a can of hickory spam in the fridge. So I diced it up and then browned it in the air fryer before adding to the crockpot. I also found about a 1/3 of a pound of left over breakfast sausage that I had prepared for breakfast a few days ago. It had sautéed onions and sweet pepper in it so I added it all as well. Then last, I spotted two chicken tamales left over from our local food truck. So I browned them a little in the air fryer as well before chopping up and adding to the crock pot. The pot began smelling pretty darn good and I finally had to try some before the beans were quite done. All I can say is that I may try to eat it all tonight. The hickory smoked spam was actually really good in it.
