Instructions
  1. Combine all ingredients except the chilis in adobo in the slow cooker.
  2. Cook on low for 7 – 9 hours until the beans are tender.
  3. Remove 1 cup of the liquid (a ladle works well) and drain the beans in a colander.
  4. Put 3 cups of beans in a food processor, add 1 – 3 chipotle chili peppers in adobo sauce (from a can), and 3/4 – 1 cup of the reserved cooking liquid, and puree the beans to desired consistency.
  5. For a creamier texture, use more of the liquid and puree longer.
  6. At this point you can store the remaining beans in 1 1/4 cup increments (refrigerate or freeze) to use in recipes in place of canned beans. Serve immediately or refrigerate it for up to 1 week or freeze it for up to 3 months.
