FOR DRIED BEANS:
In a large pot, add the dried beans and 5 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat. Let simmer for 15 minutes. If you are using a big crock pot, dump the beans/water into the crock pot after the 15 minutes.

FOR CANNED BEANS:
Empty 1 can black beans, 1 can pinto beans and 2 cans of kidney beans into the pot.

In a separate pan, sautee the onion with 1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil and your choice of ground meat for 5 minutes. Then add onion/meat to the beans. Add 3-4 beef bullion cubes, make sure they get submerged.

Open and add: crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, diced tom/chili, and canned chilies. Add 2 tbsp of olive oil and 2 tbsp of lemon/lime juice. Add spice mixture.

Spice mixture:
1.5 tbsp of chili powder
½ tbsp cumin
½ tbsp ground black pepper
1/8 to ¼ tsp of cayenne pepper (even the ¼ tsp doesn’t make it too hot)
1 tsp cilantro
1 tbsp oregano

Stir. Cover and let simmer. Dried beans will take 10 – 12 hrs to cook. Canned beans will take 1 – 2 hrs. Check on it periodically to make sure it’s your desire consistency. Add more water to make it more soupy.
