black beans go into the slow cooker with an army of flavorful ingredients. so why is the result so often a dull, muddied mess here s what we discovered, test kitchen discoveries, build assertive flavor , start by sauteing chopped onion, bell pepper, garlic, and jalapenos in a dutch oven; beginning the saute with bacon fat, rather than the usual oil, also helps amplify the meaty richness of the chili., test kitchen likes to saute spices to intensify their flavor. when the vegetables are tender, add 1/4 cup of chili powder, plus cumin and oregano, and let the spices bloom in the hot pan., while ham hocks traditionally add flavor and a few shreds of meat to the chili, we wanted enough meat to chew on. we opted for the salty richness a small smoked ham lent to the chili as it cooked; removing the ham at the end of cooking and chopping it provided plenty of meat., dried beans added to the slow cooker at the outset were still too hard by the time the chili was done. to speed up the cooking, we simmer the beans in the dutch oven for 15 minutes before transferring the contents to the slow cooker.

just about every barbecue joint we have ever been to serves some form of baked beans. each is a little different--according to the pitmaster s whims--though they all share a pretty similar sweet, smoky flavor. we wanted to make our own version of barbecued beans at home in a slow cooker. here s what we discovered, choose small white beans and soak them overnight for the creamiest, most tender texture., add smoky flavor via fine-chopped bacon. there s no need to saute it; it will dissolve into the beans during the long, slow simmer., add lots of onions and garlic and saute them before assembling all the ingredients in the slow cooker. many slow cooker recipes skip this step for convenience s sake, but we think the rich flavor the step generates is well worth the extra effort., blend barbecue sauce and an unexpected ingredient, coffee, for a deep, resonant flavor. reserve the coffee until the beans have cooked; otherwise it will make the beans taste bitter., add a little barbecue sauce and mustard (along with the coffee) to the beans just before serving for an accent.
