  • “i just bought this preasure cooker, your’s is my first try…..thanksgreg”

  • “Very good bean recipe. Simple and yummy. I substituted diced lean ham for the bacon (trying to cut back on fat) and after parboiling for about 30 minutes, I drained the beans and placed them and the rest of the ingredients in my crockpot and added enough boiling water to barely cover them. I cooked them for about 6 hours on high, then transferred them to the 325 F oven for about an hour to brown and reduce the liquid a bit. Thanks for sharing this recipe, Barb.”

  • “When you add water while these are cooking, be sure it is very hot or the beans will have a tendency to burst.”
