- 2 Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, bell pepper, and carrot; sauté until onion fairly translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, salt, cumin, and pepper flakes; cook until heated through and fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a slow cooker.
- 3 Add tomatoes and water to slow cooker; stir in beans and bay leaves. Cover slow cooker.
- 4 Cook on Low until beans are tender enough that you can easily smash one between your tongue and the top of your mouth for 6 hours (or on High for 4 hours). Add vinegar. Taste and adjust seasonings; add hot pepper sauce.
