You might want to change where you're shopping at. Maybe they have old beans Julie,

That was my problem with my first attempt at ham and beans, though. HARD beans. Yuck! I still don't know what happened, but it hasn't happened since. Maybe it was the type of bean? I have NO idea!

It seems so simple and yet my beans never, NEVER, get to the soft state. I've followed directions on the package, tried the crockpot method, avoided salting them, overnight soak, quick soak....etc. I even tried last month for my OAMC and they turned out hard. :( Guess I'm "doomed" to buy canned until I can master this. lol Cooking beans is just one of those things I am terrible at!

So we make lentils more often instead. Still nutritious but cooks faster. And I like freezing beans too. So nice to have these on hand but not at the canned price!

I never even thought to add seasonings while cooking! I just cook them plain then add seasonings when I make separate dishes. Definitely need to try it differently next time!
