"Somewhere between chili and borracho beans. Delicious, easy to prepare, nutritious, great for week lunches. Cooking beans in a crock pot turns out perfectly cooked, creamy beans every time. Servings are just a guess-sorry! It filled a medium size crock pot (curry cooker in the Middle East). Add more chipotles in adobo if you like spicier food."

ingredients

2 cups dry mixed beans (I used a mix of pinto and cranberry)
1 large onion, coarsely diced
3 garlic cloves, smashed (more or less to preference)
1 chicken bouillon cube (ham seasoning if you have it! sub veg bouillon if vegetarian)
6 cups water
¹⁄₄ cup tomato paste
1 tablespoon turmeric
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon paprika
2 tablespoons chipotle chiles in adobo, diced (~2 chiles)
¹⁄₂ - 1 cup diced tomato
1 cup cilantro, coarsely chopped
1 cup brown rice, cooked

directions

1. Combine beans, onions, garlic, bouillon, and water in crock pot. Cook on LOW for 6 hours (or more—I cooked the beans overnight).
2. Add remaining ingredients except rice, continue to cook on low for 1-2 hours. Add more water if needed, you want it to be pretty soupy since the rice will absorb a lot of liquid.
3. Just before serving, add brown rice and stir to combine.
4. Garnish with chopped cilantro, a sprinkle of sharp cheddar, diced green onions.
