It is no secret that beans are a frugal pantry staple. They are loaded with protein and fiber. And it's no secret that dry beans are far cheaper than canned beans. Not to mention healthier. 

But if you're busy the last thing you have time for is an extra step in the cooking process, or multiple steps like soaking, boiling and cooking. 

So today I wanted to share with you how I cook dry beans in my slow cooker without presoaking them. This requires minimal effort and little hands on time. So it's a busy mama's DREAM!
