Recipe Introduction

From RecipeZaar - http://www.recipezaar.com/Easy-Beans-In-Rice-Cooker-172600

List of Ingredients

1 lb dry pinto beans (other dry beans will work)
5 cups water
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes (optional)
2 Tbls olive oil (optional)
1 medium onion, finely chopped (optional)
3/4 cup water (optional) or gf broth (optional)
salt and pepper, to taste



Recipe

Rinse beans. (You can just cut the top of the sack off, poke a few small holes in the bottom, and fill it with water.).

Place beans and water in rice cooker, switch to on.

Check occasionally to see if additional water is needed, or to see if your rice cooker has switched to 'warm' mode too early.

After two hours, enjoy in another recipe, or add optional ingredients and simmer 15 more minutes.

Add additional goodies as desired- seasoning meat, peppers, veggies, spices, etc. - there are tons of things that go well with beans.

Note:It is "VERY IMPORTANT" that the tomatoes get added AFTER the beans have cooked- the beans will not soften if you add the tomatoes at the beginning!
