EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Navy beans are actually one variety of kidney bean. These small white beans are so named because they’ve been a standard food of the U.S. Navy since the mid-1800s.

Why not serve these savory, slightly sweet beans in hollowed-out round dinner rolls? When the beans are gone, you’ll have a sauce-soaked piece of bread to enjoy!

This is the same basic recipe my mom has been using for about 60 years. (She's 85 yo) The beans always have turned out tender and great! She would make them extremely thick so we could make bean sandwiches to carry in our lunches to school. To this day I still use this same recipe and enjoy the beans every time. And yes, salt is always added at the beginning of the cooking. Not sure where magnoliasouth is coming from but maybe the recipe wasn't followed correctly?

Beblovestocook....I totally agree with you! I too have been cooking for many years and have never heard of not salting beans before cooking!!I don't need "Google" to know how to cook.I have always salted my beans and they come out so tender they melt in your mouth.Some people just don't know how to cook beans properly. I too have been cooking beans many years before "google" This recipe is really good!!! You can't always believe what google tells you.In my opinion if you need google to cook than maybe you should not be cooking! lol!!!
