Crockpot Beans

I want to get to some real money saving recipes to feed your family.  One of the greatest of these is a good ole pot of beans!!  What has worked for me for years is to cook them in the crockpot, on high, for 8 hours. 

Yum! 

Beans are so versatile.  They can be eaten alone with salt and pepper (don't forget the cornbread!), in chili, mashed up to make bean burritos, in salads, on nachos...  This is an underestimated food that is so versatile and used in many cultures around the world!!!

First, you want to rinse your beans in a strainer and pick out any rocks or shriveled beans.

Then put the beans in the crockpot and cover with water and a teaspoon of salt.

Cook on high for 8 hours.  Season to taste.  

Today, I chose to serve them with rice, sour cream, cheese, and salsa. 

Enjoy!  :-)
