Equipment
- 6-quart slow cooker
Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 16 oz dried black beans
- 6 cups cold water
Spices:
- 1/2 Tbsp onion powder
- 1/2 Tbsp garlic powder
- 1/2 Tbsp cumin
- 1/2 Tbsp dried parsley
Instructions
Instructions:
- Rinse and drain dried beans. Place into a slow cooker.
- Add all the spices.
- Pour 8 cups of water over the beans. Cook on LOW for 8 hours.
Notes
- Salt: add 1 tsp of salt after the beans have cooked. (I skip the sodium since recipes call for salt anyway.)
- Spices: are optional but not overpowering. Once the beans double in size they soak up the flavors resulting milder beans.
- 15 oz can of beans equals 1 3/4 cups of cooked beans.
