Ingredients

1 lb Dried Great Northern Beans
1 tablespoon salt (or more or less to taste)

Instructions

Rinse your dried beans under cool, clean water to remove any dirt or dust.
Add the beans and salt to the slow cooker along with any seasonings or additional ingredients (see note below).
Pour in enough water to cover the beans by at least an inch (about 5 cups of water per 1 lb of beans)*.
Cover with the lid and set the slow cooker:
High: 4-6 hours Low: 7-9 hours
Towards the end of the cook time, you’ll want to check in on your beans. It’s ok to remove the lid and do a taste test! (see blog post for tips on how to know if they are done).
When beans have reached your desired consistency, drain any extra water and enjoy!

Notes

* If the water level gets low during cooking, add more to keep the beans from drying out. You can always drain excess liquid once they’re done.

I purposely left this recipe very plain so you could add your Great Northern beans into any recipe, but if you'd like to add more flavor, check out the "Flavor Variations" section above.
