Basic Beans

Ingredients:

2 cups dried beans
water
1 onion chopped
4-6 cloves of garlic chopped
2 Tb tomato paste
oregano
2 bay leaves
salt
pepper


Place the beans in a bowl of water and let soak 6-12 hours
In a pot over medium high heat, saute the onions until they start to become translucent, then add the garlic and continue to saute until the garlic is fragrant. Toss in the tomato paste, bay leaves and a bunch of oregano and cook for 1 minute. Add the beans and water and bring to a boil, (If using a crock pot, move everything to the crockpot now) reduce heat to low and simmer covered until the beans are tender. Add salt and pepper to taste and serve.

I really prefer ground turkey chili, of the midwestern soupy variety. Reply to this if you want the recipe.
