directions

  • Using a 5 quart pot bring water to a full boil.
  • Meanwhile, sort out rocks and old beans from bag. Throughly wash beans in cold water until water comes out clear.
  • When water has come to a full boil add beans, onion, garlic and oil. Cover and allow to cook for 30 minutes.
  • Check water level (you always want to have enough water just to cover the beans) if it looks like it needs it then add more. Reduce heat to a low simmer and continue to cook for an 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Remember to check water level every 30 minutes.
  • Once beans are fully cooked add salt and allow to simmer 5 minutes.
  • These beans can easily be mashed to make refried beans.
