That should finish them off if they were hot, straight from the crock-pot. (assuming that you have a remove-able pot, of course.)Kieflerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02889489744903349769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-141925195674785329.post-54575585093921353002010-11-11T19:07:09.188-08:002010-11-11T19:07:09.188-08:00Thanks for posting this.

We eat a lot of mexican food so it seems like I am always buying pinto beans. I think I am going to save a TON of money if I put some dry beans in the slowcooker!Stephanie Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12247427742758851403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-141925195674785329.post-62821998643144433682010-09-24T16:47:55.997-07:002010-09-24T16:47:55.997-07:00Yay for pinto beans!!!

I have been wanting to incorporate dry beans but avoided it because of the percieved hassle. Thanks for this oh-so-basic tip! And now that we have a chest freezer, I have room for the "usable portions" :)JaimeSewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00335998100576999659noreply@blogger.com
