Recipes FAQ

Can I use canned beans instead of dried beans?

Yes, you can use canned beans if you're short on time. Drain and rinse the beans before adding them to the pot and reduce the cook time to about 30 minutes.

What can I use instead of a ham hock?

You can use bacon or smoked sausage instead of a ham hock. Just cook them first and then add the vegetables and beans to the pot.

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure to rinse the beans thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Don't skip the soaking step as it helps the beans cook more evenly and reduces cooking time.
  • Feel free to add more vegetables like potatoes, kale, or spinach.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
