This has become a new staple in our house. I'll never buy canned black beans again! And the rice recipe that goes with it is excellent. I usually add a bit of chipotle chili powder. I also soak the beans over night and do the first phase of the cooking in a slow cooker at medium heat before adding the beans into the dutch oven with the onion mixture. That softens the beans right up. Other than that, I don't touch a thing. Great recipe!

Faabulous recipe for Black Beans. I tried with White Beans but it just wasn't the same. One of my Son's rated the Black Beans as the best side dish in years.

After reading the reviews, we adjusted the salt and it came out perfect! I loved the added touch of red wine vinegar. It gave the beans a little extra something!!! I will definitely make these beans again!!!

I followed the recipe exactly but I added deer sausage, Goya Adobo Seasoning, Louisiana Creole seasoning, and diced carrot. All the ingredients were added together in a crock pot and cooked for 7 hours. I feel 12 cups of water is too much if using a crock pot, 8 cups might be better. I had to take 4 cups of liquid out. I also mashed some of the beans to make the gravy thicker like how some folks in Louisiana do when making red beans. This is a good foundation to add different ingredients to make this a great dish.

I see a lot of comments about the beans being too salty. The recipe calls for kosher salt which is large flakes of salt. If you are using your standard table salt, you need to reduce the salt in the recipe by 1/2 to account for the smaller particle size. It's still a lot of salt for four people. I used a teaspoon or so of coarse sea salts and added some lime juice at the end (just to taste to boost the acidity. Delicious! Also, soaking the beans overnight yields a more tender final product than soaking them in hot water for one hour.

Enjoyed this recipe but I found it a little salty. Can't wait to make it again and see the difference if I adjust the salt content.

My son and husband, who love beans and have never turned them down, did not like this at all. The spice mixture was not balanced enough, and I think this recipe calls for more onions than necessary. I added salt and pepper as desired so it would not be too salty.
