Crockpot Method: The Ultimate Bean Cooking Solution

It's all about layering, people! Beans, vegetables, and a dash of magic. Here's your basic recipe:

• 1 cup dried beans (any variety, really)
• 4 cups water or broth (we like to keep it real)
• 1-2 tablespoons olive oil (because everything's better with olive oil)
• 1 onion, diced (no tears, please)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced (vampires, beware!)
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin (the magic happens here)

Now, toss all that in the Crockpot, cover it, and let the slow cooker do its thing!
