This recipe is fast, but it is healthier to cook beans. Heres why! Bisphenol-A is a coating in metal cans that leaches into vegetables, especially beans. Scientists have identified BPA as producing an estrogenic response in human breast tissue. That is, it causes tissue cultures to multiply profusely, a sign of breast cancer. For more information on Bisphenol-A and other chemicals found to mimic/block hormones in the body of wildlife, test animals, and possibly the human animal, see: Introduction to Hormone Toxicity at:
http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~mwarhurst/oestrogenic.html A better solution 1) soak (rinsed) beans for 4 hours or overnight; OR 1a) bring beans to a boil, simmer for one hour. 2) Drain. 3) Place beans, and all seasonings except salt, into a slow cooker/crock pot and cook 8-10 hours until done OR 3a) simmer beans 2-3 hours until done. 4) prepare recipe, as usual. This is NOT AS COMPLEX as it sounds. And, it is a lot tastier and healthier! Enjoy!

Thats so gross, and scary; thanks for telling us about it! I like the process of cookin my own beans, but I always seem to undercook them. Thanks again for that information. The recipe sounds delicious though, I'll try it with dried beans.
