Slow Cooker Black Bean And Hamburger Soup - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb dried black beans
1 lb lean ground beef
6 cups beef broth
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Preparation

Brown the hamburger meat, drain the fat and place the meat into a slow cooker.
Add the beans, seasonings and broth. (You can soak the beans before if desired - I never do!).
Cook on low for around 8 hours or until the beans are tender, adding water or additional broth as needed. I usually need to add about 2 cups of water as the beans cook and soak up the liquid.
