Variations on a Theme



So my dear friend sent me a package the other day.  It had two boxes of that lovely Knorr seasoning cubes that my market here doesn't seem to carry (If they do, I sure can't find it!).  And my sweet daughter-in-law called and talked about making beans at her house.  So I knew I needed a pot of beans.  But who wants to wait to soak overnight and all day to cook?  Not me!  So I chose a time when my adult daughter was gone.  She still does not eat beans.  I know, it's a sure sign I failed in the way I raised her.  Or she just doesn't like beans.  Either way, today I am making beans!

I pretty much followed Char's recipe below, only I had Great Northern Beans instead of pintos.  And we are carnivores, so I had to add sausage to the pot.

30 minutes on high with natural release, and then I thickened the juice with a little bit of dehydrated potatoes.   Char was right, they are the best beans ever!
