Saute onion, jalepeno, and garlic in ½ T olive oil for 3-5min on medium-low.
Add black beans, vegetable broth, water, onion, jalapeno, garlic, and spices to the crock pot.
Cook in your crock pot for 8 hours on low. (I cooked 6 hrs with with the last hour on high to speed it up. Seemed to work out OK.)
Makes 2 servings. Double or Quadruple for larger batch.
Forgot to take a photo and just ate it right up! I ate mine over some brown rice pasta. I'd say it turned out pretty well for just winging it. Next time I'm going to try to cook the beans right in the pot without presoaking per advice from The Vegan's Husband.
