  1. It’s cheaper and it reduces landfill space. GREENER!! You just have think about it the night before. Boil while washing the dishes or something. Turn off the heat. Let the beans sit overnight in the pot of water. Add what you want to add the next day.

    So glad that you mentioned this, Stephanie!

    I cook mine in the crockpot. I sort, rinse, throw 1 lb of dry beans in the crockpot unsoaked, sprinkle them with salt, onion powder, garlic powder and turmeric, then fill the crock until 1 inch from the top with water and cook on high about 5 hours.
