What if you don't have a ham bone? Don't worry! Buy a ham hock, and wrap it in cheese cloth before cooking it in the Crock Pot. You can find ham hocks at any grocery store. The reason you want to wrap it in cheese cloth is because the bone will start disintegrating into the beans when you cook it for long hours. You don't want to eat little pieces of bone!

Description

Crockpot Cuban Black Beans are perfect for that leftover ham bone you have from holiday meals. Throw everything in the Crock Pot and have an easy healthy dinner ready to go! Serve these beans as is or over rice.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ham hock
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 lbs (1 bag) dried black beans
  • 1 Tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 Tablespoon salt
  • 1 Tablespoon brown sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional
  • 4-6 cups of water

Equipment

  • Cheese Cloth
  • Twine
  • Crockpot

Instructions

  1. Wrap and tie the ham hock in cheese cloth and twine. This is so the hock doesn't disintegrate into the beans (it leaves pieces of bone in the beans...gross).
  2. Dump all of the ingredients into a Crockpot (6-8 quart). Make sure the water covering everything so the beans do not dry out. Cook on high heat for 8 hours.
  3. Unwrap the ham hock, and add any meat from the hock back into the beans. That's the good stuff!

    Do I soak the beans first or put them in dry?

      Hi Victoria. Sorry for the delayed response! I have never tried this recipe with potatoes, so I can't really tell you any modifications. I don't really know what this combination would be like. If you make it, let me know how it turns out!

    Hi, I just want to tell you that these are the best black beans that I have ever made. I froze half of them since we are a small household and they still taste fab reheated.

    Thanks so much.

      Thank you soooo much! They are definitely a winner in my house. I eat them alone or with a big wedge of cornbread!

    Wondering if anyone can compute the net carbs for this recipe? I made it and enjoyed it very much but my diet requires me to track net carbs not total.
