1/2 fresh jalape๑o pepper, seeded and chopped
2 tablespoons minced garlic
5 teaspoons salt

1. Place the onion, rinsed beans, jalapeno, garlic, salt, pepper, and cumin into a slow cooker. Pour in the water and stir to combine. Cook on High for 8 hours, adding more water as needed.
Note: if more than 1 cup of water has evaporated during cooking, then the temperature is too high.
