Hi!
What kind of beans are you talking about?
I mean, I'm pretty sure you mean dried beans but not sure if you mean lima beans, northern or whatever.
Also I wanted to thank you for the tip of putting beans over rice 'cuz I never would have thought of that! -

What should the bean to water ratio be? Should I just cover the beans with water? Can you tell I've never done beans in a crockpot before?

Hi Michelle,
I never measure mine so don't know exact water ratio to the beans but with mine, I use enough water to cover them and then some more [water].
I put quite a bit of water in mine 'cuz the beans will soak the water up as they cook [I just wouldn't fill the crockpot to the top with water is all.]
Maybe someone else who does this and measures things could help ya better than I can, I'm just not a measuring type of gal. *lol*

I have a recipe like this but calls for ham bone.
Ingredients
1 tsp cornstarch
1 lb red beans, soaked overnight and drained
1 ham bone
1/2 lb sliced bacon, chopped
1/2 stick butter (1/4 cup)
1 tsp salt
3 stalks celery, chopped fine
2 medium onions, chopped fine
1 bunch green onions, chopped fine
Put 3 inches water in a slow cooker and stir in cornstarch. Add all remaining ingredients. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 8 hours or on high-heat setting for 4 hours or until beans are tender. Remove ham bone and chop meat; return meat to cooker. Serve over brown rice.
I rarely have ham bone so I substituted it with italian sausage and eliminated bacon. I also use white rice instead of brown coz I was out. It's yummy, kids and hubby liked it. -

Okay ladies I`m sorry I`m just getting back to you. I`m new a t posting recipe`s.
yes it is dried bean`s Traci, 1lb I usually 7 cup`s water,because I don`t worry about it for 5to 6hrs,
It may have to much liquid so I put some in a coffee cup and add corn starch. If it is needed I do it again.
I`ve tried all these. pinto`s mixed , white bean`s and red beans and they are all good.yummy.
hth
or else I drain some off If needed then . then work with corn starch.
one time I tried adding less water, was gone all day. so i`d rather have to much.
yep this was a recipe! -

any kind of beans, split peas, pinto, white... i add a lot of garlic powder as well.
i do this with 1/2 pound of bacon instead of sausage. i think she means just put the dry beans in the crockpot, cover them with a lot of water, add the meat and cook all day in the crockpot. Not a measuring recipe! -

I have always had to soak mine overnight before putting them in the crockpot to keep them from taking forever or being hard by evening. I did not know about the corn starch tip, thanks for sharing it with us.

I've never tried the cornstarch method, but I have drained some of the extra liquid off if there was too much, usually place into the dog's food bowl.
Another idea if using a slow cooker....is to take the lid off and let cook on high until thickened up and cooked through.
We usually cook Pinto and Great Northern Beans with a ham bone OR ham hock...tasty... -

I learned a few years ago that I could make beans in the crockpot. So easy that is basically the only way I make them now.
I generally add some minced garlic ( we love garlic) and a tablespoon or so of olive oil in addition to the beans and water. -

great idea will have to use it the next time I make beans which will be in the next day or two.
Do you all pre-soak the beans the night before? -
