Tia Talana's Flatulence-Free* Beans






*The secret to having the beans not make you gasious is to use fresh beans, not ones you have had a long time... :)

3 cups dry pinto beans
1 onion, chopped
1 can diced chiles
1 can chopped tomatoes
1 tsp. cumin
pepper and garlic to taste (you can use a few cloves of minced fresh garlic or garlic powder)
1 Tbsp. salt

In a large slow cooker (Crock Pot) place the beans and enough water to cover the beans two inches above the beans. Let soak over night.

In the morning, replace the water with enough fresh water to cover the beans by an inch.
Add the chiles, onion, tomatoes, cumin, pepper and garlic. Set cooker on high for 8 hours. One hour before the beans are done (at 7 hours cook time) add the 1 Tbsp of salt.
Serves 6-10 people, depending on how much you want to eat!
I also melt some cheese into each bowl when I serve it. It's pretty good with the cheese.
