Crock Pot Black Beans Recipes

HOW TO COOK BLACK BEANS IN THE CROCKPOT (AND HOW TO FREEZE THEM)

Steps:

• Rinse your dried beans and place them in the crockpot (you do not have to presoak your beans).
• Top with the salt and water.
• Cook on low for 8-10 hours.
• Separate into freezer friendly containers or freezer bags.
• Allow to cool completely before placing in the freezer.
• How to reheat:
• Take straight from freezer and place directly in crockpot if you are using them in a crockpot recipe (like a soup). You can cook them on low (directly from freezer) in a medium size pot until thawed and heated through.
• You can also thaw them in the fridge the night before you plan to use them.

CROCK POT BLACK BEAN CHILI

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a heavy skillet, saute the onions in the olive oil until tender, stirring frequently, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 2 minutes longer. Add the cumin and cayenne pepper. Cook for two minutes longer to bloom the spices.
• Combine the onion mixture with the bell peppers, tomatoes, broth, corn, black beans, and Picante or taco sauce into a 4 to 5-quart slow cooker.​
• Cover and cook on low about 10 hours or until the vegetables are tender. You can thicken this chili if you'd like using a mixture of about 2 tablespoons cornstarch with 1/3 cup water. Add to the slow cooker, cover, and cook for 20 to 30 minutes or until thickened. If you have a newer, hotter cooking crock pot , cook the whole recipe on low for 6 to 7 hours.
• Serve with optional garnishes of your choice, along with tortilla chips for dipping, if desired.

CROCK POT BLACK BEANS

Steps:

• 1. The day before you want to make your beans, soak them in water overnight. In a large bowl, remove beans from bag and cover with water.
• 2. In a crock pot, add soaked beans and cover with chicken stock. I used almost a full carton of chicken stock (32 ounces). Add in all your ingredients.
• 3. Stir spices into the broth.
• 4. Set crock pot for desired cook time and let it work its magic. I set my crock pot for 8 hours because I made them early in the day. Garnish with cheese and cilantro.

FRIJOLES NEGROS- CROCK POT MEXICAN BLACK BEANS

Steps:

• Soak the beans for at least 8 hours. If they are old, 24 hours is great. You must change the water at least 3 times to rinse the white foam that appears in the surface.
• Pour the beans in the crock pot with the water, the bay leaves, the onion and garlic. (Cut in half the garlic cloves to take out the stem that germinates so it is nicer for your tummy, you can plant the stem or just through it away).
• Cook on high for 12-15 hours. Check the amount of water around the 8th hour and fill again if necessary.
• Turn of the crock pot and add the salt, stir softly and let it rest for at least 30 minute.
• *You can use more beans, depending of the capacity of your crock pot. It will be a nice soup that you can enjoy hot or cold. Separate the beans for using them in other recipes like fried and mashed beans.
