Slow Cooked Beans

This sounds good for all day cooking in your crockpot.

eating well Slow-Cooked Beans

Makes 6 cups

Ingredients

1 pound dried beans, such as cannellini beans, black beans, kidney beans, black-eyed peas, great northern beans or pinto beans
1 onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
6 sprigs fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried
1 bay leaf
5 cups boiling water
½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Soak beans in enough cold water to cover them by 2 inches for 6 hours or overnight. (Alternatively, use the quick-soak method: Place beans in a large pot with enough water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil over high heat. Remove from heat and let stand for 1 hour.)
2. Drain the beans and place them in a slow cooker. Add onion, garlic, thyme and bay leaf. Pour in boiling water. Cook, covered, on high until beans are tender, 2 to 3 1/2 hours. Add salt, cover, and cook for 15 minutes more.

Sounds yummy on a cold day after two hours of shoveling.

Hi Shirley,

I tried this recipe today. I soaked pinto beans overnight, then cooked them on high in the crock pot for about 4 hours. I added some more spices, such as garlic, salt, and dried vegetables flakes. The beans were good but didn't have a great deal of flavor. I mixed in some ketchup in my bowl of beans and that tasted even better.
