My uncle swore dried beans could beat canned and he was dead right
My uncle Ray kept bugging me about how I was throwing money away on canned beans every week. I finally did the math and a 1 lb bag of dry pinto beans costs about $1.50 and makes the same amount as 4 cans that run $1.25 each. So I soaked a batch overnight in my crockpot on Sunday and ended up with roughly 6 cups of cooked beans for way less than $2 total. I froze half in old yogurt containers and used the rest for burritos and soup all week long. The only catch is you gotta plan a day ahead, which is the whole reason I ignored him for so long. Anyone got a trick for making the soak step less of a hassle, or do you just keep canned around for backup?
