Important Ingredients to Use When Making Seasoned Pork and Black Bean Stew
Make sure you have the right ingredients in your kitchen before you start preparing this simple yet delicious Slow Cooker Seasoned Pork and Black Bean Stew. You will need:
- Dried Black Beans. Use black beans in this recipe but make sure to rinse them off first.
- Boneless Pork Loin Chops. The best cut of meat to use when making this stew is the boneless pork loin. Try using leftovers from our Instant Pot Pork Chops.
- Frozen Onions and Peppers. Use frozen onions and peppers instead of going through the process of slicing everything on your own. The peppers and onions go great with the pork in this dish.
- Smoked Sausage. The smoky flavor that the sausage contributes to the dish gives it such a unique and delicious taste.
- Hot Italian Sausage. Give your stew a slight hint of spice by adding hot Italian sausage to it.
You will also need water, salt, pepper, bay leaves, garlic cloves, and ham hocks to complete this dish. Prepare some white or brown rice to serve with the Slow Cooker Brazilian Pork and Balck Bean Stew when it finishes cooking.
Slow Cooker Seasoned Pork and Black Bean Stew Storage Tips
Storing the Slow Cooker Seasoned Pork and Black Bean Stew is not a problem. You may want to do it because you would like to save the stew in the freezer for a cold day or when you have a busy day and cannot prepare a meal on the stovetop.
No matter your reason for freezing the stew, pour it into a large food storage container. You may need to use multiple containers to accommodate all the stew that you make. That is if you actually have leftovers, lol! You can freeze single-serving amounts, too. After you have it in containers with lids, put your stew in the freezer. You can hold it in the freezer for roughly six months before defrosting and reheating.

When you need to make such large batches of the stew because you have a large family, it is highly recommended that you use an 8-10 qt slow cooker. Check out the best equipment to use when making this dish and other recipes for your large family.
