A: Yes, but it requires a different method. If using dried beans, you must soak them overnight first. You will also need to increase the liquid to 4 cups of water/broth and cook on LOW for 8-10 hours to ensure the dried beans become fully tender. Canned is the true "quick and easy" route!Butter
Q: Can I add other vegetables?
A: Yes! This is a great way to use up the crisper drawer. Toss in 2 diced carrots, 2 stalks of diced celery, or even a handful of fresh spinach (add the spinach in the last 15 minutes so it just wilts).
