Black Beans and Rice

Ingredients:

1 1 lb. bag dried black beans

1 large yellow onion, chopped

2 large tomatos, chopped

4 tbsp cumin

5 cloves garlic, chopped

2 tbsp olive oil

5 cups water

1 tbsp salt

Rice

Directions:

1. Add everything but the rice to your slow cooker. Mix it together well. 

2. Set the slow cooker on high. Cook the beans for 8 hours or until soft. Stir periodically. 

3. Make the rice right before dinner. I use the boil in a bag white rice. I don't expect that brown or yellow rice would taste very good with the beans, but I could be wrong. 

4. Pour beans over the rice and serve.

Note: These aren't very spicy because I have children who balk at spicy food, but feel free to add red pepper flakes or chopped jalapenos if you prefer your black beans with a little kick.
