Beans in a slow cooker?!
Hey how can i make beans in my slow cooker!? I want to put meat in them too!.!.!.i think its pork!?!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
Just pick through and wash beans!. Anykind of dried beans will work!. Most people use a 1 lb bag in a regular size crockpot!. Put beans in and pour in water to about an inch from top of pot and add meat if wanted!. Place on lid, turn pot on high and walk away! After beans are done season with salt, pepper, chiles or whatever you like!. I usually put my beans on in the morning for the evening meal!. If they are done (soft) early I turn the pot to the low or keep warm cycle until time to eat!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

if you live in alkali or hard water country, buy bottled water to fill your crock pot!.

turn crock on to high til it comes to boil, then turn down to low and ignore for next 8 to 12 hours other than to add more boiling water as necessary!.
