Re: how to make beans in the crockpot?
Plpace your dry beans in a bowl, cover with 2 inches water, leave overnight, drain, rinse.
THen, place your beans (as follows) in the crockpot: 1 lb. dry beans (Soaked/rinsed) cover with 1 in. water 1/2 - 1 tsp. salt 1/4 - 1/2 cu oil cook on high 5 hours or low 8-10 hours. I have done this for just about every kind of dry bean that exists. You don't need the oil or the salt...that is just how I do it, b/c I like the finished flavor better in my meals. |

Re: how to make beans in the crockpot?
I picked up a few bags of dried beans while grocery shopping this week b/c although I enjoy the convience of canned beans I know it is healthier and more economical to do it this way; however, I always forget to soak my beans the night before. Maybe I should tie a string around my finger to help me remember. Beans in the crockpot and then divide and portion for various meals and freezer storage would make life a bit easier once done. I think crockpot is way easier than stovetop. Thanks for sharing your tips.

Re: how to make beans in the crockpot?
I use the recipe from the La Leche League cookbook called Easy Beans. I do not soak the beans for this recipe.
2 cups dried beans 4 to 5 cups hot water chopped onion - 1 or 2 depending on what taste you want 1 clove minced garlic Throw it all in the slow cooker. High 6-8 hours Low 10-12 hours. After it's almost cooked through, I will add whatever other seasonings I want to it like salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, tomatoes, etc.
