Instructions

Rinse black beans and add to an unplugged slow cooker (no heat) with 8 cups of water. Soak beans overnight, ideally at least 12 hours. The next day, drain and rinse the beans and return to slow cooker.
Add the rest of the ingredients to the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours. Taste to see if additional salt is needed. Add cilantro to beans right before serving. Enjoy!
NOTE: Beans will be slightly watery due to them needing to be submerged in liquid to cook properly. Simply use a slotted spoon when serving.
