You can use any type of bean, I like pinto, but black beans are also yummy too, but I've heard they cause more gas...is this a lie? Anyways, cooking your beans this method, allows you to control the salt, texture, and is actually WAY cheaper than buying them at the store. Even on sale, Rosarita beans costs 1$ a can. I think to make a pound of these beans, makes the quantity of 3 cans of beans, and the cost is 50 cents or less! You can leave the beans whole, or mash them to make a smooth consistancy. I usually just do this recipe 1 pound at a time, so I don't have an abundance of beans for days on end.
Beans in the Crock-pot crock-pot
1 pound of beans
water
salt
garlic powder
Rinse beans in a colander, make sure to remove anything that is not a bean. Place rinsed beans into crock-pot, and fill water about 3 inches above where the beans are. Put 1 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1 tsp of garlic powder into the crock-pot. Place lid on the crock-pot, and turn to high for 5-7 hours. Stir the beans halfway during cooking time.

Thanks Rachelle!!!! I was wondering when you were going to post this! I think that there are more people out there like me who think that beans need to be soaked and that cooking them is a time consuming project. I love that these are not scooped out of a can looking an smelling like dog food. They are SO GOOD!
Hey I just got the double meaning of the title...clever Rachelle!
I am always looking fo a new way to make beans. They are cheap and good too, so we have them all the time. Thanks for the idea.
