Directions

PREP

10 mins

COOK

1.5 hrs

READY IN

2 hrs

In stockpot, soak beans in enough water to cover, overnight.
The next day, add remaining ingredients, except salsa and salt.
Bring to a boil, stir.
Decrease heat to medium and cover. Simmer until the beans are slightly firm but tender in middle, about 1 1/2 hours. If the liquid evaporates before beans are cooked, add water, 1/4 cup at a time.
When beans are cooked, add salt.
Keep warm until ready to serve, or cool, cover and keep in refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Stir in salsa, if using, right before serving. Great with tacos, in enchiladas, or as a side with chips.
