Slow Cooker Recipe
Barbecued Black Beans with Sweet Potatoes
This recipe smells delicious as it cooks. So good, in fact, that when we made it the other day in the office, our co-workers kept stopping by to see what we had slow cooking. The smoky barbeque stew tastes as fantastic as it smells. Even our co-workers who don’t like sweet potatoes had a bite and liked it!

Would this freeze well after cooking? I am the only one in my house who would eat it! It sounds so good, I want to try it!
sounds easy enough and pretty simple ingredients. plus it’s extra healthy w the sweet potatoes and black beans
I am a big time crock pot person. I make 60% + of my meals in a crock pot because I don’t like to cook and certainly not with a lot of ingredients. This looks so good and is the kind of food we eat, I am looking forward to trying the recipe out.
Could you add a meat in with this? And if so, what kind?
> I think this would work really well with cubed ham. Sounds really yummy to me!
Sounds like the perfect easter leftover meal with the ham.
Mmmmm… Sounds yummy! How do you think canned yams would fare? Perhaps they could be added to the beans and sauce halfway? And yes- what sort of meat would you recommend? I’m envisioning a very hearty, meaty bacon.^_^
Intriguing recipe. Am enjoying your posts on FB..thanks for your work!
I just made it with canned yams an it was fantastic! I bet it would be great served with porkchops or fried chicken! Thanks
Is there a calorie/fat gram count on this?
Sounds good. I plan on making it for Sunday “Superbowl”. Thanks for the recipe.
Thank you for featuring MY recipe on your website! What a delightful surprise to read it on a cold Florida morning. Not complaining, because I know it is much worse back in Wausau, WI where I live the rest of the year.
I’m really enjoying your site, especially the stories about tools.

Sounds de-lish! What’s the difference between the BBQ sauce in the recipe and any other BBQ sauce? Anyone know? I don’t want to be disappointed when I get to the store here in the N.E. and find out they don’t carry it. Will ANY BBQ sauce do?

Sweet Baby Ray’s is sweet and slightly smokey tasting…I’m sure any of the more homemade styles of BBQ sauces would be good.In Wisconsin,this is a favorite brand.Tastes like homemade. ;D
Hope this tastes as good as it sounds,making it right now!

Ok,so I added the entire bottle of barbeque sauce because I like more,added chicken,and it is sooooo very good!
sounds wonderful… i love black beans and i also love sweet potatoes… will try this one for sure… thanks…
Great recipe–easy and so tasty! Here’s my twist on it, which I made in my Dutch oven, but can obviously be done in the crock pot as well.
I found some boneless baby back ribs at Sam’s Club recently that I decided to combine with this dish. So I spiced them generously with some BBQ rub and browned them in my large Dutch oven in a couple of tablespoons of olive oil. Then I fished them out and in the leftover oil, I sauteed the two celery ribs, one large onion (diced), and also two cloves of minced garlic.Then I added 1/2 teaspoon each ground cumin, coriander, and black pepper, two bay leaves, a tablespoon of hot sauce, and about 1 1/2 cups of Sweet Baby Ray’s barbecue sauce, mixing it all together. I put the meat back into the sauce, covered the pot, and put it in the oven at 300 degrees. About an hour later, I added a large (29 oz?) can of drained black beans and and two large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut in chunks. I returned the covered pot to the oven, lowered the heat to 275, and let it cook for another 2-3 hours until everything was sufficently tender and super-delicious!
Thanks for the inspiration!
