2 T Tabasco sauce

2 bay leaves

1 tsp thyme

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

2.  Add everything else.  Mix well.  Cook covered on low for 7 more hours.

Serve with brown rice.

I like to eat them with pico de gallo.  I posted my recipe for that last year HERE.

I also like to put Adobo seasoning on them.  

If you want sour cream on them, you can use this:

1 10.5 oz package tofu (soft or firm, doesn't matter)

2 T lemon juice

2 tsp cider vinegar

1 tsp agave or honey

Mix all in blender.
