Slow Cooker Red Beans
I'm a big fan of slow cooker meals that you can walk away from and come back to at the end of the day. This is not one of them. To do this correctly, you have to monitor your progress, but you're going to love the results.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
You really need to soak your beans overnight. I've always been skeptical of this practice; but my mom says it keeps everyone from getting the farts. If I'm making beans on Sunday, I'll soak them in the crock pot with the Worcestershire sauce on Saturday night. 2 packages of beans usually equals a crock pot half full of water.

On the next day, add your garlic and Cajun seasoning before turning on your slow cooker. If I'm making supper for 6:30pm, the beans need to start cooking no later than 10 am. Put your slow cooker on the high setting.

3 hours into cooking, add your seasoning meats. If you're using hamhocks and/or pig tails, you can add them directly. If you are using salt pork, slice into strips and cook until brown before adding. If you are using salt pork, be sure to add the grease along with the meat!

After an additional 2 hours, finely chop your onion and add to the beans. Be sure to stir gently to mix them in well.

Slow cooking your beans will take approximately 8 hours to complete from start to finish once they're cooking. When you have 1.5 hours to go, cut your smoked sausage into medallions and then cut the medallions in half. Fry briefly in an iron skillet until slightly cooked and then add immediately to beans. Stir gently to mix well.

During the last hour of cooking, add additional garlic salt &/or Cajun seasoning to taste. The beans should have a creamy consistency at this point.

Serve over rice in bowls with bread of choice or cornbread.

Stewed Beans in a Slow Cooker (Crock Pot) Stewed Beans in a Slow Cooker (Crock Pot)
Those who know me well know that I absolutely love a good hearty dish. In my home, we've always been big on stews and casseroles, and they're a staple for us. When you make them in a slow cooker, they turn out delicious because all the flavors concentrate, and you hardly need to add any salt 🧂.The recipe was intended to be an Asturian stew, but with the snowstorm, it was impossible to get fabes and turnip greens. I substituted with regular white beans and cabbage. I recommend both the original and the version I'm sharing today. 8 hours of soaking and 8 hours of cooking on low heat.Have a great day 😘😘

Slow Cooker Black Bean Soup Slow Cooker Black Bean Soup
This soup is delicious both on hot summer days or the cold winter days. It goes well with "Cuban Yellow Rice". Reduce the amount of water to 4-4.5 cups to make simmered black beans instead of a soup."Don't open the lid of the slow cooker while it's cooking!" is what I was told... Recipe by Mama Imani

Refried Beans - Slow Cooker Refried Beans - Slow Cooker
This is, by far, the easiest way to make homemade refried beans. It does take some planning ahead, but for the most part, this recipe is very hands off. These are creamy and nicely seasoned. They're not spicy, so long as you remove the seeds from the jalapeno. Feel free to substitute the pinto beans for black beans to mix things up.
