• 1 lb. bag Great Northern Beans
• 1 yellow onion, chopped
• 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
• 1 - 4 oz. can chopped mild green chiles
• 1 - 4 oz. can chopped hot green chiles

Pour the beans into a large bowl and cover with water 2-3 inches over the top.  Let soak for at least 4 hours. 

Drain the beans and add them to your Crock Pot.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and generously spray with avocado oil spray.  Add the onion and jalapeno and cook until starting to soften, about 5 minutes.  

Add the green chiles, garlic, cumin, coriander, oregano, red pepper flakes, cayenne, salt & pepper, stir to combine and cook for 2 minutes.

Pour the onion mixture over the beans in the Crock Pot, pour the broth over the top, add the nutritional yeast, and give it a good stir.

Cover, and cook on low for 7 hours.  Yields five 1 1/2 cup servings.

Serve with plant based (or regular) cheese & avocado chunks.  Enjoy!
