Crock Pot Black Beans

1 lb dried black beans, picked over and rinsed
Water to soak
1 to 2 medium onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 jar of prepared salsa (green or red), or 2 cups homemade salsa
Chicken or vegetable broth to cover soaked beans
Ham bone (optional)

1. Pick over the beans for small stones or any other foreign matter, rinse them and soak in about four times the volume of water to beans for about 8 hours.
2. Drain the beans and put them in the crock pot with the onions, garlic, salsa, and ham bone.
3. Cover with the broth.  Cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours.
4. Serve over rice or in a bowl as a side dish.

Pretty good, made a ton... I ended up freezing a bunch.  I added some of them to some chili, which gave the chili a nice twist.  Leftovers work well in Quinoa Chili.
