Could just cook this on medium heat in a dutch oven for a couple of hours, too. Sounds delicious.

1/11/2010 05:02:34 PM Report AbuseThe reason it calls for canned instead of dried beans is because of the tomatoes. The acid in tomatoes will cause dried beans to be tough--they will never cook down & get soft once the tomatoes have been added. My suggestions is if you prefer to use dried, wait & add the tomatoes after the beans are done. Just give it long enough the tomatoes to heat & their flavor to blend. I haven't tried this recipe yet, but it sounds good to me.
