1 pound Dried Pinto Beans (or Kidney Beans, Black Beans)
1 Onion, Peeled And Shredded
4 cloves Garlic, Minced
1 Tablespoon Ground Cumin
2 teaspoons Sea Salt
1/2 teaspoons Cayenne Pepper
Optional Add-ins, Such As Ham Bone Or Bacon Strips
7 cups Water
Salt And Pepper, to taste
Optional Toppings, To Serve (See Note)

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 1/2 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.
5
Serve as-is or sprinkle with your favorite toppings. Serve warm.
6
Note: Some optional topping suggestions include shredded cheese, sliced jalapenos, chopped green onions, sour cream, and cayenne pepper.
