Lots of phytic acid in beans and black beans need to be soaked. Soaking in the crock pot whilst cooking them isn't what I mean, just in case you were going to point that out. Lol - they need an acidic medium and after they are soaked, THEN cook them in your crock pot - possibly for less time but that I'm not sure of. There are soaking charts out there on the net that show which soaking times for which nuts, beans, etc. God bless and thanks for the recipe! Here's a good site explaining why to soak.
