NOTES
Slow cooker times may vary. The first time you make the beans, check them after 3 or 4 hours on HIGH and continue cooking longer if necessary. If the beans have any crunch to them at all, cook them longer. To soak black beans: Dissolve 2 T. salt in 4 qt of water and add beans. Soak at least 8 hours or overnight. Discard soaking liquid.
