This is the easiest way to prepare dried beans. They’re worth the effort because they have better flavor and texture than canned, and they’re much easier on your wallet, so give them a try if you’re not already a convert. Cooking up a 1-pound batch means you have enough to add to soups, stews, rice dishes, or grain bowls for a quick protein boost.
