Crockpot Black Beans Tip

I have gotten to where I pull out my bigger crockpot and make a double batch. Then I just freeze the extras in small freezer bags. That way when I am busy I can pull one out and heat it for lunch. SO SO GOOD!

Dry or Canned Beans

I know it is an extra step, but buying the dried beans and soaking them the night before is a must. Starting with the dried beans allows them to reall soak up flavor and seasoning. The end result will be the best!

  1. This is the best slow cooker bean recipe that calls for dried beans that I have tried! I used canned tomato because that is all I had. Excellent!

    Love this recipe! I’ve made it several times and it is super chocked with flavor! The last two times, however, I must’ve done something wrong and they come out pretty bland. I doubled the recipe, doubling all the ingredients. Should I change the ratio for some of the ingredients to keep that zing? Thanks for any thoughts you have!
