Felicia's Slow Cooker Black Beans image

My best friend gave me her recipe for Cuban-style black beans. I made minor tweaks to make them in the slow cooker. Serve with white rice for an authentic Cuban meal.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The black beans were dry and hard, and the sauce was bland.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I will definitely make it again, but I'll use less chili powder next time.

I'm not a fan of spicy food, so I omitted the chili powder from the recipe. The black beans were still delicious.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover black beans. I added some extra spices to the sauce, and it was delicious.

This recipe was easy to follow, and the results were amazing! The black beans were creamy and flavorful, and the sauce was rich and smoky. I served it with a side of cornbread, and it was the perfect comfort food.
