Welcome back y’all! This channel isn't just about grains, but BEANS as well! Especially dried beans. I know they can be a little intimidating to use, especially since canned is so readily available. However, once you use dried you won't go back to bland canned beans.
In this video, I share with you THREE of my go-to bean recipes using dried beans. Beans are excellent for feeding a lot of people for very cheap. But don't just eat bland tasting beans, jazz them up! I show you how.
I also will be talking about some "myths" regarding the preparation and cooking of dried beans plus how to meal prep with them and use them for freezer meals.

*QUESTION OF THE DAY* Do You Use Canned or Dried Beans? Which ones do you prefer? Let me know in the comments!!

Definitely dry beans for flavor. Canned for the oh crap I forgot to start dinner in time.

If I use canned beans, it's beans that I canned myself in pint jars. I don't buy commercially canned beans anymore. The process is almost effortless using the Instant Pot Max.

Didn't use your recipes, but just threw stuff in to make it a hamburger beans stew/soup without stressing over timing, etc. I had to push a sieve down into the pot as I had too much liquid. I'll save the liquid for a stew/soup another day. The confidence you have is something I've lost over the years to just make food to taste.

Refried beans: fresh milled pinto (or bean of your choice). Add liquid and fat. Cook like oatmeal. Liquid varies so add until liquid is roughly 2x bean flour. Might need to add additional water. Cook until slightly liquidy (technical term). It will thicken as it sits. I cooked for roughly 15 minutes but taste and cook until it looses raw bean flavor. Use like canned refried beans. Salt to taste.

Hi … for your butter beans which you said you soaked … then added an additional 2 cups of water … they do swell up during soaking, so if they weren’t soaked people would want to add more water than just an inch above the bean level ..

Thanks for your guidance, I have only cooked with dried lentils , canned red beans and chickpeas. Lots of new ideas here for me. I love beans. The only comment I can make, being from Wales UK, and I am sure you have many viewers from Europe. When converting from dry bean weight to drained canned weight for beans you refer to cups? Sorry, could you work out what these measurements are in grams. Thanks Paul

I love dried beans. They are cheap and healthy. I am going to can some soon so I will have them available for a quick mean. I have bought a lot of beans from Amazon. I am a widow and live alone (with my little dog!) so I do not need to buy beans in huge bulk sizes.

I wanted to find out what beans to buy. So I ate each kind raw and the navy, kidney, great northern & pinto beans all tasted the same had an unpleasant taste for me. The Chickpeas tasted good, they have a nice nutty flavor so since I was planing to bake with the beans, I choose Chickpeas.

I made the home canned black beans. I followed the instructions and soaked the beans over night and drained the water. They tasted like crap. My family is huge on black beans and I have pressure cooked them for decades and we love them this was a huge let down. I will go back to just cooking the black beans without soaking them. I believe it was the soak that took the flavor and a lot of the black color out of the beans. Just a epic fail on my part that may save someone else a day of work. God Bless

I’ve used canned beans in chili, canned black beans for tacos. I’d probably preserve my own mostly canned for speed when cooking. That being said, I’m hoping to try Ezekiel bread, so I definitely need to keep some as dried beans on hand. Also hoping to do more frozen and canned RTG meals for convenience too.
