Description
  I normally only use canned beans, but I decided to use bagged beans today and they turned out really well. This recipe is adapted from the cookbook Run Fast Eat Slow. Just soak your beans overnight, and let them slow cook during the day. They're mildly seasoned, so they serve as a very versatile item in your fridge. I like to put some beans on my salad throughout the week, or eat them as a side with dinner. Any other dried beans will work here too
