*If using an canned kidney, red or black bean, drain and rinse briefly. Or cook dried beans as follows: sort through the beans to remove stones and dirt. Then wash and drain in several rounds of water. Soak the beans for 2-24 hours. Drain, then cook in ratio of 4 cups water for every 1 cup bean. Cook until tender. 1-3 hrs.
TIP – cook more than you need, then drain and freeze in useful sized portions.
