BBQ Black Beans

Sweet, spicy, and slightly smoky black beans with a Southwest flair are a great side dish for taco night and are wonderful in a Mexican rice bowl. This is a great slow cooker "dump & go" recipe.

Notes

Because of the large amount of liquid in this recipe, it holds very well if you are running an hour or two behind. No worries about burned beans.
This recipe doubles very well for a crowd or to take to a potluck.
