Ingredients

  • 1 pound dried beans, such as cannellini beans, black beans, kidney beans, black-eyed peas, great northern beans or pinto beans
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 sprigs fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 5 cups boiling water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

Soak beans in enough cold water to cover them by 2 inches for 6 hours or overnight. (Alternatively, use the quick-soak method: Place beans in a large pot with enough water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil over high heat. Remove from heat and let stand for 1 hour.)

Drain the beans and place them in a slow cooker. Add onion, garlic, thyme and bay leaf. Pour in boiling water. Cook, covered, on high until beans are tender, 2 to 3 1/2 hours. Add salt, cover, and cook for 15 minutes more.

    All it needs is a bit more flavor.

    The recipe isn't intended to be complex or tasty, it's very simple. Unfortunately, without the right changes, it's too... simple. The change depends on what you're in the mood for, really. You can add some cumin and/or chili powder and/or minced seeded jalapeno for a Latin taste, for example. You can also add some bacon, ground pepper, and chopped tomatoes. Personally, I think the most simple trick is to use a broth instead of water. This can work as a very inexpensive meal or soup course, and it certainly has potential. Read more
