You can eliminate the quick-cook method for the black beans if you soak them overnight.

Added 3 cups of water before cooking. Yummy! Turned out very well.

This was my first crock-pot recipe and I followed it to the letter to be sure it tasted great. It didn't. It definitely didn't taste like Chili. I will not make this recipe again. Not recommended.
