Slow Cooker Black Beans

I make these black beans to accompany huevos rancheros, enchiladas, or pretty much anything else you might want to eat a side of black beans with.  If you want a faster version, replace the dried beans and water with a can of beans, and replace the slow cooker with a pot on your stove.  They take hours to make, but if you have a slow cooker, you can turn it on at breakfast and have the finished product ready for dinner.  They're also incredibly cheap, even by bean standards.

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups dried black beans
7 cups water
1/2 cup yellow onion, chopped
2 tbs jalapeno, chopped

"Taco Spice"
2 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cumin
1 1/2 tsp chili powder

Directions

1. Put all ingredients into slow cooker.  Turn it on high and ignore it for about 8 hours.
