  • 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Notes

Tip 1: For extra creaminess, you can blend a portion of the beans before adding them to the slow cooker.
Tip 2: This dish can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Variation: Add spinach or kale in the last 30 minutes of cooking for added nutrition and color.
