A very healthy meal easy preparation. I add cubes of boiled chicken and stir in some salsa to make it heartier. Very low fat and lots of protein and fiber!
Alternately... Rather than going through all of this just rinse your dry beans and throw 'em in your slow cooker with water and other flavorings. Leave on low while you're at work ( 8 hours) and come home to nicely cooked beans. Easy peasy...
Chickpeas/garbanzo beans? Does this recipe work for chickpeas/garbanzo beans as well?
Simple but make sure to boil Kidney Beans! This works great for black beans...tried it today. But don't you need to boil both red and white kidney beans to get rid of the toxin that's in them?
This is a good base recipe. I did this but then I added a bunch of other things to it. When it was done I mashed up some of the beans to thicken/ smooth it out so it turned into more of a bean stew. I added low salt beef bouillon carrots garlic and some other things.
Best bean slow-cooker recipe I've tried. Adding the boiling water allows them to cook evenly. I cook 1 lb bags of black or pinto beans and freeze in 2 cup portions for later use.
Loved this versatile recipe! This recipe is so versatile. I changed it up a bit by adding half the water the recipe called for and substitued chicken broth which gave it a richer flavor. I also added spicy shredded pork that I had leftover and it was fantastic!
Easy Basic Recipe What a simple and easy alternative to costly high-sodium canned beans! However if you decide to cook the beans longer be sure to monitor the water level. Any beans not submerged will burn. Pros: Minimal Effort
what's the point? generally slow cookers are for one pot meals that you can throw together and cook while away. The cooking time is from 2 to 3 1/2 hours so you must be nearby while cooking. why not just use a pot on the stove?
