Prior to 6 months ago, my motto for beans was, “love to eat ’em, hate to cook ’em!” Cooking beans the regular old way requires forethought the night before to soak the beans. But the problem with that is that usually, the night before, I’m too full from dinner to even think about what I’d possibly want to eat the next day. It requires extreme planning and organization – which I just do not have.

Then I learned that you can cook beans in a pressure cooker WITHOUT pre-soaking the beans the night before..

There’s a gadget that I want to introduce to you – not only is it genius, but the people behind the company are awesome. They wanted to pay me to create a recipe using the EZ Bean Cooker, but instead of paying me, I suggested that they donate $2,000 to my local Boys and Girls Club that Scott and I have adopted.

What a great trade! I get to enjoy beans, cooked in 60 minutes or less WITHOUT SOAKING and the DeSoto branch Boys & Girls Club made their fundraising goal. They happened to be short in fundraising and this made up the difference.

And the best part of this for you is that I’m giving another one of these EZ Bean Cookers away. Check out this giveaway post to enter!

Enjoy the recipe!
