Grandma Sony's Slow Cooker Black Beans
My mother-in-law whipped up these black beans one day without really paying attention to what she was putting in and served them as a side. I have since had to reverse-engineer them to come up with this slow cooker recipe and found they are extremely versatile. They are excellent in burritos, over rice as a side or main dish, or just as a soup on their own. You can even add cheese to the leftovers to make a great dip for chips!

Cook's Notes:
Soak beans according to individual package instructions. Using the 'quick-soak' directions on some packages of black beans has worked just as well as a longer soak time, and they will be ready in just 1 hour.
My wife and kids don't like spicy foods so I'm forced to leave out the jalapenos when cooking for them, but I've found that I can add Tapatio(R) hot sauce after cooking and it complements the beans very well and gives them the kick I'm looking for.
