Chef's Notes
Listen closely, culinary travelers! When managing your skillet, ensure your ground beef is broken down into wonderfully fine crumbles so that every single bean in the slow cooker can forge a loving alliance with the meat.
Pro Tip
If you wish to elevate the smokiness of this magnificent brew, consider rendering your bacon slowly at the start and reserving a teaspoon of that liquid gold to coat the inside of your slow cooker vessel before adding the beans.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Do not commit the cardinal sin of tossing the raw ground beef straight into the slow cooker without browning it first, unless you fancy your cowboy beans swimming in a greasy, gray puddle of sad meat tears. Brown your meats in the skillet, or prepare to face my eternal culinary exile!
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
I asked the chef why we add sugar to beans, and he said it's to trick the peasants into thinking they're eating dessert instead of dinner.
The Culinary Science
Slow cooking at low temperatures over a span of hours allows the tough collagen in the ground beef and bacon to break down gracefully into gelatin, creating a luxuriously thick sauce without the need for artificial starches.
