I love these delicious, savory, slow cooked beans. The slow cooker lets you skip that whole "soak overnight" step, and ensures that the aromatic onions and garlic flavors are absorbed by the beans.
Ingredients
- 1 lb dry black beans
- 6 cups water
- 2 onions, diced
- 3 whole cloves garlic
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 Tbl cumin
- 1 Tbl chile powder
- 1 Tbl salt
Instructions
- sort through the dry beans, removing any broken beans and stones
- add beans, water, onion, cloves, and bay leaves to dry cooker
- cook on low for 6 hours
- about ½ hour before they're done, add the salt and spices
- remove the garlic cloves and bay leaves before serving
- serve with grated cheese and cilantro
Notes
These will keep a week or more in the fridge. And stored in ziplock bags and flattened out they also freeze well.
