- Pick through the beans for debris, rinse, and place in a large bowl. Cover with about 2 inches of water and soak 6–8 hours or overnight.
- Drain the beans and add to a slow cooker. Cover with about 2 inches of fresh water (about 5 cups).
- Add the cumin, Southwest Chipotle Blend, chili powder, salt, garlic, and onion.
