Slow Cooker Black Beans

While this is an overnight recipe, it really is worth the extra effort to have smooth and flavor packed black beans.

Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cup Dried Black Beans
  • 6 cups Water or Broth more as needed
  • 2 tbsp Taco Seasoning see recipe below
  • 1 tbsp Dried Minced Onion
  • 1 tbsp Tomato Boullion
  • 1 7oz can Green Chilies

Instructions
 

  • In a large slow cooker add dried beans, taco seasoning, onion, boullion and water (or broth if using). Cover crock and let sit over night.
  • In the morning, add green chilies. If there is no water left (it was all absorbed by the beans), add 2 cups of water or broth. Replace the lid and let cook on low for 8 hours.
  • Around the 4 hour mark, check for moisture levels. If it is looking dry, add one cup of water. This is also the time to start to mash the beans some.
  • In the last hour, again check for moisture level and mash the beans some. This is the time to taste test and add salt if needed.
  • The beans should be soft enough to smush but still have enough body to maintain shape.
