Cooking Dried Beans - Crock Pot

Recipe #392764 | ½ day | 6 hours prep | add private note

Buying dried beans is so much less expensive than canned. Cook the beans in the crock pot and then freeze - inexpensive and easy. Found this recipe on a blog - thanks whoever wrote it. Preparation time is initial soaking time.

SERVES 4 -6 , 3 cans (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 1 lb dried beans
  • 6-8 cups water

Directions

  1. 1
    Rinse beans.
  2. 2
    Pour beans into crock pot and add enough water to cover beans an additional 2 inches.
  3. 3
    Let beans soak for 6 hours or overnight. DO NOT turn crock pot on.
  4. 4
    Drain and rinse beans. Return to crock pot and cover with fresh water as above.
  5. 5
    Cook on low for 8 hours.
  6. 6
    When beans are cool you can package them in zip lock bags. 1 2/3 cups equals about a can's worth.
  7. 7
    These freeze beautifully.

This worked well. I froze half of them and made refried beans with the other half. I want to try this with black beans and chickpeas also.

    Wow what a great way to prepare beans! I cheated and added about 1/4 cup chopped onion and 3 strips of bacon , both sauted for a few minutes before adding to the beans. Delish. Thanks for the keeper!! Made for Phase 1, TYM photo tag!
