Crockpot Beans

[Guest guest]

Hi. I cook beans in the (5 qt.) crockpot frequently and this is my

never-failed-yet way to do it:

Sort, rinse and soak beans for 10-12 hours in filtered water

Drain and rinse

Place into crockpot with:

Cover with water (about 2 " above beans)

2 T. olive oil

2-4 cloves garlic, cut in half

Seasonings:

Pinto or black beans---cayenne pepper, pizza seasoning, cumin, chili powder

for Mexican style

White navy beans---parsley, cayenne pepper, Tobasco, green peppers and green

onions for Cajun

 

Cook on high for 6-10 hours. These will be very soft and flavorful when

done.

Hope this helps,

>> i'm sorry! i didn't specify, did I? i mean general directions for

cooking a mess of beans (pintos, black beans etc) in the crock pot vs on

the stove. I'm guessing after a soak, all day on low would be about

right, but i'd like to hear from someone who's done this and not either

burnt the beans or had a big mess. :-)

 

Thanks again,
