Notes
This recipe is also suitable for cooking in the slow cooker. Just add all your ingredients for the beans to a slow cooker and cook on low for 4-6 hours.
I would always recommend that you taste and adjust seasonings as you cook to ensure the perfect balance of flavors to suit your preferences - these types of recipes don’t need to be followed exactly, it’s more about what kind of flavor you want to achieve!
