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.

COOKED DRIED BEANS - COOKS ILLUSTRATED



Cooked Dried Beans - Cooks Illustrated image

I was surprised that I couldn't find this recipe loaded into 'zaar. The amount of garlic appears substantial but try it and you'll find that your home-made beans are good as the canned. This recipe isn't complicated but it takes some pre-planning. The preparation and cooking times do not include the pre-soaking (4 hours or overnight) or the post-cooking resting period (15 minutes). Beans in liquid can be cooled, covered, and refrigerated up to 5 days.

Tips:

  • For best results, use dried beans that are no more than a year old. Older beans may take longer to cook and may not soften completely.
  • Before cooking, sort through the beans and remove any stones, dirt, or damaged beans.
  • Rinse the beans thoroughly in cold water.
  • When cooking the beans, use a large pot with plenty of water. The beans should be covered by at least 2 inches of water.
  • Bring the beans to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 1-2 hours, or until the beans are tender.
  • Add salt to the beans during the last 30 minutes of cooking. Adding salt too early can toughen the beans.
  • Once the beans are cooked, drain them and rinse them with cold water.
  • Use cooked dried beans immediately, or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 6 months.

Conclusion:

Cooking dried beans is a great way to save money and time, and it's also a healthy and delicious option for meals. With a little planning, you can easily cook dried beans at home and enjoy them in a variety of dishes. So next time you're looking for a healthy and affordable meal option, reach for a bag of dried beans and get cooking!
