Slow Cooker Brazilian Style Beef and Black Beans

I love my slow cooker. Put dinner in and leave it. It’s ready when you get home. And this dish is so easy and so delicious you’ll make it many times. Feijoada is a stew from Brazil. Like many traditional dishes there are many versions. The one thing that is always the same is the black beans. This is my version of feijoada and it was a huge hit with my family. Give it a try! Make your own adjustments – but make sure you add those beans!
