Crock Pot Black Bean Chili
1 pound dried black beans
28 oz can of diced tomatoes
2 Cups Low Sodium Chicken Broth
1-2 Cups water-eyeball it, make sure the liquid covers the beans
1 garlic clove
1/4 jalapeno
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 Tbsp Chili Powder
1 tsp Cumin
*I added some already cooked chicken-this is optional
The night before soak your beans. They are really dirty and need this!
In the morning rinse them and add them to a greased crock pot. Add the tomatoes, chicken broth and water. I was lazy so I didn't cut up the garlic or jalapeno. You can just put them in whole and take them out when it is done. The onion I had already chopped up that was easy, you will need to chop them up or just use a lot of onion powder. Whatever works for you. Add the garlic, jalapeno, onion and spices. Mix them up and cook on low for 10 hours. I promise you will not be disappointed.
This was so easy and I think the 10 hours really helped the flavors.
This makes about 8 servings. Your can eat it all week or freeze it.
Analisa - I am still not on top of how to make dishes like this work in my crock pot - either they turn out to be too bland or too spicy - can't seem to find a happy medium yet. Hope things are going well for you. Cheers
