📝 Preparation Steps
1
Pour dried beans in the slow cooker. Add shredded onion, garlic, cumin, salt and cayenne pepper. For a richer flavor, add a ham bone or a couple of bacon strips to the crock.

2
Pour the water over the top of the beans and cover tightly. Turn slow cooker on high and cook for 8–⏱️ 10 hours. You can also cook on low for ⏱️ 12 hours or longer.
3
Once beans are very tender, remove the ham bone or bacon if necessary. Depending on your slow cooker, you may have excess liquid in the crock. Scoop 1 ½ cups of the bean liquid out of the crock and reserve.
4
Use an immersion blender or a potato masher to smash the beans into a relatively smooth texture. Add some of the bean liquid back in if needed to reach the right consistency. Salt and pepper to taste.
