They’ll remind you of Chipotle’s black beans with a touch of bacon to take them right over the top.  Meggan’s notes I love the convenience of slow cookers, but especially when it comes to recipes for dried beans.Dried beans can be slow no matter how you cook them, so I like to remove the pressure and just plan on them taking all day.

Thanks for my culinary training, I know all about building flavors ahead of using a slow cooker.Here, we layer in bacon, onions, red peppers, and lots of spices.And we do it in a skillet to really bring those flavors to life before we “set it and forget it.” At the end, stir in fresh lime juice and fresh cilantro to make these perfect crockpot black beans pop.

If you don’t like cilantro, just leave it out! You’re always the executive chef in your own kitchen.Table of ContentsMeggan’s notesRecipe ingredientsIngredient notesStep-by-step instructionsRecipe tips and variationsFrequently Asked QuestionsSlow Cooker Black Beans Recipe Recipe ingredients At a Glance: Here is a quick snapshot of what ingredients are in this recipe.Please see the recipe card below for specific quantities.
