SLOW-SIMMERED KIDNEY BEANS
My husband always puts us down for a side dish when we're invited to a potluck. Canned beans cut down on prep time, yet you get plenty of zip from bacon, apple, red pepper and onion. I like simmering this mixture in the slow cooker because it blends the flavors and I don't have to stand over the stove. -Sheila Vail, Long Beach, California

Steps:
- Rinse dry beans in cold water. Place in a lg. bowl, and cover with 2" of cold water. Let soak overnight in refrigerator. Drain, and rinse beans.
- Put beans in a lg. crock pot with the rest of the ingredients. Cook on high 12-14 hours or on low for 24 hrs., or until beans are soft, and juice is thick. Stir occasionally.
- Check water occasionally to make sure there is enough water in the beans, so they don't boil dry.
- Note:.
- If you use a smaller size crock pot cut the recipe in 1/2, and cook until beans are done. I always use my large crock pot, so I'm not sure how long it takes.
Tips:
- Rinse and sort the beans: Before cooking, rinse the kidney beans thoroughly under cold water. Pick out any beans that are discolored or damaged.
- Soak the beans overnight: Soaking the beans overnight in cold water helps to reduce the cooking time and makes them more digestible. If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 2 minutes, then removing them from the heat and letting them stand for 1 hour.
- Use a slow cooker: A slow cooker is a great way to cook kidney beans because it allows you to set it and forget it. The beans will cook slowly and evenly, resulting in a tender and flavorful dish.
- Add aromatics: Aromatics such as onions, garlic, celery, and carrots add flavor to the beans. You can also add herbs and spices such as bay leaves, thyme, rosemary, and cumin.
- Cook the beans until they are tender: The cooking time will vary depending on the type of kidney beans you are using. White kidney beans typically take 6-8 hours to cook, while dark red kidney beans may take up to 10 hours.
- Season the beans to taste: Once the beans are cooked, season them to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream.
Conclusion:
Slow-cooked kidney beans are a delicious and nutritious dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. They can be served as a main course, a side dish, or even used in salads and soups. With a little planning, you can easily make slow-cooked kidney beans at home. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful meal, give slow-cooked kidney beans a try!
