Here’s my basic Black Bean crock pot recipe:

Ingredients
  1. 1 1/2 cups Dried Black Beans
  2. 4 cups water
  3. 2-3 dried Red Chilis, stems and seeds removed
  4. 1/2 Yellow Onion, medium dice
  5. 3-4 Cloves of garlic
  6. 1 tsp Cumin powder
  7. 2 tsp Coriander
  8. 1 tbsp Epazote
Instructions
  1. Place all ingredients in the crock pot. Turn the crock pot on low for the first 1/2 hour, then switch to high. Let the beans cook until they are still firm, but easy to chew. This usually takes about 2 hours
  2. Take the beans out of the crock pot and remove the red chilis. Add salt. You can eat them anyway you like. With rice, in a burrito, or as a side dish. Take them to a festive party and watch your friends be amazed at the flavor of the black beans.
Notes
  1. When cooking beans in a crock pot you don't have to soak them.
