A flavorful and easy-to-make Caribbean-inspired black bean stew, perfect for a hearty meal.
Prepare the ingredients by chopping the onion and slicing the vegetarian sausage links.
Chopping the onion finely will help it blend into the stew better.
Add the black beans, barbecue sauce, chopped onion, brown sugar, sliced sausage, lime juice, ginger, dry mustard, salt, and black pepper to the slow cooker.
Mix the ingredients well to ensure even distribution of flavors.
Set the slow cooker to LOW and cook for 4-6 hours.
Check occasionally to ensure the mixture doesn't dry out; add water if necessary.
If the mixture appears too thick, stir in water to achieve the desired consistency.
Add water gradually to avoid making the stew too watery.
Serve the stew hot, garnished with fresh cilantro or green onions if desired.
Pair with rice or bread for a complete meal.
