This Cuban Black Beans Slow Cooker recipe is a Spanish dish that will go well with plain white rice, bread, or just a salad. I have always enjoyed black beans and their flavor. What I love most is it is naturally a flavorful bean and very high in protein and fiber.

Can this be made in advance?

This recipe can be made in advance of your guest and placed in the refrigerator for about 5 days. Otherwise, the beans can be kept in the freezer for about 2 months in a freezer bag or freezer-safe container.
