Notes
- Navy Beans: can substitute canned beans for dried beans.
- Storage:
- Use 1 lb of dried beans. Soak the beans overnight.
- Cover with water and bring to a boil over medium heat. Let the beans cook for an hour.
- Strain the beans but reserve the cooking liquid and add 1 cup of the liquid back into the beans.
- Refrigerator: store leftover beans in a sealed container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
- Reheating: Place the beans in a pot on the stovetop and heat over medium heat until warmed through.
- Freezer: these beans can be stored in the freezer. Allow the beans to cool down completely, then store in a sealed freezer safe container for up to 6 months. To thaw, remove to the refrigerator overnight.
