How to Quickly Cook Dried Beans

Today I am going to show you how I make beans super quickly.  All you have to do is bring the dried beans to a boil, cover and cook in the oven at 250 degrees for 75 minutes.

– 1 lb. beans (red, black, pinto, white etc.) – 1/2 tablespoon salt

Ingredients

Preheat your oven to 250. Spread out your beans on a cookie sheet and pick through to take out any rocks or misshapen/shriveled beans.

Use a colander to quickly rinse them with water. Then add the beans to your dutch oven and top with enough water to cover the beans by an inch and a half. Add your salt.

Bring pot to a boil.

Cover and put your pot into the oven. Let it cook for 75 minutes.

Voila, after 75 minutes your beans should be nice and soft. Ready to gobble down or add into soups/stews. I drained out the broth.

You can keep the bean broth and use it in soups/stews later. Also it’s a great idea to do a bigger batch of beans and freeze them into baggies.
