Crock Pot Black Beans

A good "base" recipe for black beans in the crock pot. Once they're finished, you can use the beans as dinner (with rice!) or as a base for other black beans (in place of canned black bean).

Ingredients

Directions

1. Pick through the beans (check for dirt clumps and small rocks) and rinse them. Cover completely with water (plus about 3-4 inches) and soak overnight. In the morning, drain and rinse the beans. 2. Put the beans in your crock pot. Add onions (chopped, sliced or quartered ) and garlic (peeled; you can chop if you prefer). Add a few teaspoons of salt. 3. Cover the beans with 4 inches of water, broth, or a combination of both. (I use water + a vegetable bouillon cube). 4. Cook on HIGH for 6 hours, checking occasionally for doneness.

Black beans are a favorite in our home. A first food for the little ones, and a favorite all around. This recipe is a great "base", and we store the beans to use in place of canned beans, or use it as a bean soup. Best served with rice and fresh fruit (and a wedge of cheese!!).
