  • If you don't have a slow cooker, soak the beans overnight in 6 to 8 cups of water and drain them. The proceed with the recipe as directed, simmering the ingredients in a stockpot or Dutch oven. For same-day cooking, sort and rinse the beans, then cover with 6 to 8 cups of water and bring them to a hard boil for about 3 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat, cover and let the beans stand for about an hour, then drain and continue with the recipe.
