Crock-Pot season will soon be underway.
As pumpkin spice everything hits shelves during the dog days of summer, you may be inclined to dust off your Crock-Pot and get cooking with fall flavors or hearty comfort foods.
This recipe for Crock-Pot Borracho Beans by Kate Ramos, author of the cookbook "Plant-Powered Mexican," out in November, is equal parts comfort, quick and affordable. All you have to do is toss in the ingredients and let them simmer. Whether you’re feeding a family, yourself or you're prepping some tailgate dishes for football season, this rich dish will satisfy you.

Directions:
- Rinse the beans. Don’t skip this easy step. Beans have rocks and dirt mixed in with them. Place them in a colander and rinse under cold water. Look out for any small rocks or clumps of dirt and pick those out. Since we are cooking them low and slow in a slow cooker, you don’t need to soak the beans overnight.
- Combine beans with liquid. Place the beans into a large Crock-Pot then add the beer and water. I like to use a lager-style Mexican beer.
- Crisp bacon. Cook it over medium-high heat and render the fat so you can cook your onions in the bacon grease.
- Cook aromatics. Sauté the onions, jalapenos, and garlic in the bacon grease, along with the chili powder and other spices.
- Mix it all together. Stir to combine everything in the Crock-Pot. Put the lid on and walk away.
