Introduction
This recipe doubles easily and freezes really well. I made a double recipe of beans and froze half by themselves, adding rice when ready to eat so that it didn't get mushy and the dish kept some texture. Make sure to have extra fresh cilantro on hand!

Ingredients
-
8 oz Dried Beans - Red Pinto type or Black Beans
1 Medium Onion
7-8 Cloves Garlic
1 Tbl EVOO
1-2 Hot Peppers
1 Packet Bullion Mix - Chicken or Vegetarian
4 Packets Goya Sazon (orange packets in small orange and yellow box - "Con Culantro y Achiote")
Cilantro
2 Cups Cooked Rice (1 Cup Raw)
Directions
Let beans soak for at least 8 hours (longer if possible but change water every 8 hours)
Finely dice onion and garlic. Saute gently with evoo until onion and garlic are soft, fragrant and yellow.
Take hot pepper and blister the outside over the gas burner of your stove until skin is mostly black. Once skin is mostly black, put it on a plate to catch the juices. Peel off most of the black skin, leaving a few bits for flavor. Dice up pepper (with or without seeds, depending on the amount of heat you want in the beans) and add to crock pot along with any escaped juice from the plate.
When garlic and onions are done, add them to the crock pot. Now, pour the pre-soaked beans into the crock pot (after rinsing them one last time). Dice up the carrot and throw that in also.
Pour enough filtered water over the beans to cover them and then some. I'd suggest at least one inch over the top of the beans as a lot seems to have boiled away on me.
Add some fresh ground pepper and set crock pot on high. It will cook on high for 8 hours. (I need to test this on low, but haven't yet.)
After about 4 hours, add the packet of bullion and 2 of the packets of Goya Sazon.
After another 4 hours, add the other 2 packets of Goya Sazon and a big handful of chopped cilantro. Stir really well and let cook for 15 more minutes.
Right before you stir in the cilantro and goya, cook the rice. 1 cup raw rice. When the rice is done, mix the beans into it and enjoy.
