Savory & Smoky Black Beans Recipe: A Flavorful Delight
  • Prep Time
    5 mins
  • Cook Time
    6 hrs
  • Total Time
    6 hrs 5 mins

Ingredients

  • 1 lb of dried black beans, soaked overnight
  • 4 tsp of bacon drippings
  • 1 finely chopped onion
  • 2 tsp of hickory-infused liquid smoke
  • 2 tbsp of rich dark molasses
  • ½ cup of densely packed brown sugar
  • 4 slices of tangy pickled jalapeno peppers

Step 1

Begin by liberating the black beans from their hydrating bath and transfer them into the welcoming embrace of a slow cooker. Pour in a generous amount of crisp, clear water to cloak them like a cozy blanket. Tuck them in and set the cooker to High for an adventure-filled journey.

Step 2

Meanwhile, in a skillet, awaken the bacon drippings over medium heat, letting them sizzle with anticipation. Introduce the onions to the mix, gently coaxing them into a state of tenderness through careful stirring and cooking. Merge this aromatic concoction into the beans, sprinkling in the brown sugar, liquid smoke, molasses, and slices of feisty jalapeno. Stir this flavorful symphony until it harmonizes beautifully, then cover and let it simmer on High for 5 to 6 hours, or until the beans reach a state of tender bliss.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your dried black beans in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent insects from invading your pantry.
  2. 2. Store your cooked black beans in the refrigerator in a sealed container to keep them fresh and ready for your next meal.
