Makes a great, filling, cheap meal that takes about 10 minutes to heat up.

Arlie what I have been doing of late is the quick method and it has been working great.
I bring the beans to a boil and then turn the water off and let sit for about 30 minutes or so.
Then I drain and rinse the beans and bring back to simmer and turn on low.
They are the the same consistency as beans that have soaked over night.
The only thing different is I am now putting them in the jars and canning for 90 minutes at 10 psi with the weight.
Hopefully they wont be mush.
If I dont do this I get indigestion big time.
