To start, soak the beans according to the instructions on the packaging.
When you’re ready to cook, prep all the ingredients. Now, toss everything into the crockpot except the lemon and chili powder.
Cook on high for 6-8 hours. You do not want to cook on low. You’ll need to beans to reach a certain temperature and low won’t work.
Test the beans for tenderness after 6 hours to see if you need more time.
Before serving stir in the squeezed lemon and chili powder. Serve and enjoy.
