Ingredients
dry black beans, 2 cupsGarlic, 3 cloves Onions, raw, 1 medium (2-1/2" dia)Mixed Vegetables, frozen, half of a 10oz package (or more if you like)Tomatos - Canned w/ Jalapeno Peppers, 2 cupsPepper, red or cayenne, .25 tsp or to tasteOregano, .25 tsp or to taste
Directions
1) cook the beans with just water (and the onions & garlic if you like them very well done) until soft. You want to have at least triple the water as you have beans so figure about 6cups of water. This will take a fairly long time but you can just bring it to a boil, cover, turn off your stove, and let it sit for an hr or so. Do it again and they should be about ready for the other ingredients. Test one though and keep simmering if they aren't ready. If it's easy to smoosh then they're ready. Don't add anything else until the beans are soft all the way through.

2) add the rest of the other ingredients. Simmer and stir until the veggies are cooked as you like them. Taste and add additional seasonings if you like.
