This collection of Slow Cooker Recipes with Black Beans is my way of encouraging you to cook dried black beans and freeze them instead of just using a can! I’m speaking to everyone (even myself) when I say it’s time to kick the canned bean habit!

And I get it! Even though I do know how to cook dried beans in a slow cooker, sometimes it’s just easy to grab a can of beans from the pantry. But slow cooked beans taste so much better than canned ones, and all those cans aren’t good for the environment either.

Of course, no worries if you need to grab a can of black beans occasionally when cooking them from scratch just isn’t going to work for you! Look below for some tips for converting recipes that call for canned beans. And in this post you’ll find 20 amazing slow cooker recipes with black beans, so grab some black beans and your slow cooker and get a tasty dinner going!

Converting recipes from canned black beans to cooked black beans:

Converting recipes from canned beans to cooked slow cooker beans is easy if you remember that one can equals 1 1/2 cups of cooked beans.  When I’m smart enough to cook dried beans in my slow cooker and stock up in the freezer, I like to freeze them in small bags that hold just 1 1/2 cups so it’s easy to grab as many as I need.

How Long Will Cooked Beans Keep in the Freezer?

Beans will keep in the freezer for months and if you squeeze the air out of the bags and make them flat, you can stack up quite a few. (I put the date on outside of the bag so I know which ones to use first, and wash and re-use the bags when I take them out of the freezer.)

    I used to cook black beans in the crockpot all the time – I think they taste better a little bit firmer so I'm not big on canned beans. But I read that you can get ill if you don't boil dried beans for 10 minutes before you cook them. I never got ill from them, however.

    This is a great reminder to me, too (and thanks for linking to some of my recipes). My favorite way to cook black beans in the slow cooker is to put them in overnight, for 18 hours on LOW. Works like a charm, with no effort from me. Then I can freeze them for later.
