Cuban Crockpot Black Beans
Beans! The classic canned food which, along with canned tomatoes, makes up over half of our pantry.

No longer now that I’ve discovered just how easy it is to make beans from scratch in the crockpot. The night before we were planning to have these for dinner, I started the beans soaking and chopped/ measured the other ingredients into a large bowl in the fridge. The next morning before work, I dumped the bowl and the beans into the crockpot and added water. Eleven hours later when I returned to a wonderfully aromatic house, I only needed to start some brown rice in the rice maker and dinner was ready.

    How much water did you add to the crockpot with the beans?

      Add just enough water to cover the beans. I used to go an inch above the beans but always end up needing to drain them before serving.

      Enjoy!

        Of course! Adjust as needed to work for you! I use bulk beans without a bag if there are already instructions I’d follow them. Best!
