Description

Directions

• Rinse the kidney beans and drain.
• Add all the ingredients (except the rice) to the slow cooker.
• Set the slow cooker to low and cook for either 6 hours on high or 10 hours on low (total).
• Optional: When there is one hour remaining, use a potato masher to go in and mash up some of the beans, then let it cook the remaining hour.
• Cook the rice in a separate pot, according to package directions. I used white jasmine rice and cooked it in my rice cooker.
• Serve with 1 cup rice in each serving.
