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!

Here’s How to Do it:

Cut the beef into 1 to 1-1/2 inch cubes.

Heat the 1 Tablespoon of olive oil in a heavy skillet and use it to brown the beef.

Slice the linguica

and prep the rest of the ingredients.

Add all the ingredients except the garnishes and one can of black beans into a slow cooker (crockpot), saving out 1/4 cup of the orange juice. Puree the third can of beans and the water it comes in.

Stir – Cook on low for about 6 hours.

Turn the heat to high, stir in the pureed black beans and an additional 1/4 cup orange juice. Cook for another 15 to 20 minutes.

Serve hot over long grain rice –

and garnish with orange slices, chopped parley and minced hot red pepper.

It’s that easy!
