I cooked this recipe on the day I saw it on the show. Followed it to a T except that I used red kidney beans because that's what I had. I only had 4 hours of prep time before dinner so I skipped the slow cooker and cooked it in a dutch oven for about an hour or so. I did add a little more liquid to keep it from drying out. The resulting beans tasted like Bush's grilling beans and I love it! I never buy beans in a can now.
The second time I made it, I used the slow cooker. I plugged it in around 11PM and turned it off at 8AM the next day. The beans were super tender.

I thought the beans had an awesome flavor. So much tastier and healthier than canned and soooo easy. I followed the recipe exactly.

I agree. These beans were decent, just not great. However, my family enjoyed them. I just wasnt wowed. I didnt have white beans so I used pinto and I added 1 inch chunks of browned boneless rib meat. Soaked the beans for more than 24 hours but still they were a little hard.
Also, even after adding water in the last half hour, they were a bit dry.
