Step-by-Step Method
Load the slow cooker
Rinse the dried pinto beans quickly under running water. Add beans, water, and chopped onions to the slow cooker insert.
Cook until tender
Stir in the chili powder. Cover and cook on LOW for 7–8 hours (or HIGH for 4–5 hours) until the beans are soft.
Add the BBQ base
Pour in the barbecue sauce, ketchup, and prepared mustard. Mix gently so the beans stay mostly whole.
Thicken the sauce
Cover again and cook 20–30 minutes more so the sauce clings and slightly thickens.
Taste and serve
Taste and add salt if needed. Serve hot as a side, or spoon over rice or alongside cornbread.
