Cooking Beans in the Crockpot

 

The easiest way to cook beans for use in other recipes is in the crockpot.

Use this basic recipe to cook large quantities of beans and then freeze in

recipe-sized amounts in freezer bags so you always have cooked beans on

hand.

 

1 lb dried beans

5 cups water

 

 

Rinse and drain beans, discarding any foreign matter. Soak beans overnight

in enough water to cover by several inches. Rinse and drain.

 

Place soaked beans in a 3 1/2 quart crockpot. Pour in 5 cups water, cover

and cook on low for 5 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until desired

tenderness.

 

Yield: 5 1/2 to 7 1/2 cups of cooked beans (depends on variety)

 

Happy Cooking!
