Basic Crockpot Beans

Put in crockpot and cook about 4-6 hours on high or overnight on low. Beans should be soft (small white beans take longest, pinto beans shorter) Add spices, veggies, etc. (see below) cook about another hour. Spices:, veggies, etc: 1) 1 tsp dried cumin, 1 tsp paprika, 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, 1-2 Tbsp. soy sauce, a few chili peppers, chopped, chopped green pepper, can chopped tomotoes, some frozen corn. (Good with black beans) 1/2 tsp liquid smoke tastes good added. 2) 1 tsp cumin, 1 can chopped green chilis, chopped green pepper, 1 Tbsp soy sauce (good with white beans). 3) 1-2 Tbsp soy sauce, 1/4 cup molasses, 1/4 tsp cayenne, 1/2 tsp dried mustard, (good with pinto or black eyed peas) Garbanzo beans I usually use as a substiute in chicken recipes, so Ill freeze them with just the onions and garlic. Frozen black eyed peas are also a good staple to have on hand (for some reason thats the only legume that comes frozen except for lima beans which I dont like).
