Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups dry black beans about a pound
  • 3 cups water
  • ½ tsp dry minced garlic cloves
  • 2 tsp dry minced onion
  • 1 Tbsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cumin

Instructions
 

  • Wash the dried beans well and pick out any rocks or beans that look funky. Pour them into a pan and add water till it is at least 2 inches above the beans. Let soak overnight (or for 8 hours.)
  • Drain off the water and pour the beans into a crock pot. Add the 3 cups of water and the remaining ingredients. Stir together.
  • Cook on LOW for 8 hours or on HIGH for 4-5 hours, or until the beans are tender. During the last couple hours of cooking, you can add extra water if you want them saucy.

Notes

-If you forget to soak your beans overnight, you can cover them with water and bring them to a boil. Turn off the heat and let them sit for an hour.
