Hello
Looking forward to using this recipe but it states onion twice.. do I add 2 onions, 1 quartered and the other chopped?
Thanks

The first quartered onion is for blending in the sauce and the diced onion you stir in to the beans.

These were delicious thank you! However my pinto beans took over 4 hours to finish. One reason could be that I used a stainless steel pot instead of cast iron.

Anyone tried to do these in the instant pot yet?

Was wondering how long they last in the fridge, and can you freeze them?

They will last for about a week in the fridge and you can freeze it for a couple months.

Does the kale serve a purpose other than taste? I don’t care for the flavor of kale (or spinach) in things, so I’m wondering what I could substitute? Lentils?

Hi Hildy, the kale is for nutrition, texture, flavor, but you can use something else or leave it out as needed.

Just a few quick questions about soaking the beans please. I have always used canned beans when making baked beans.

How much water do you use to soak a pound of dry beans?

Do you soak them in the refrigerator overnight or just on the counter?

If on the counter, what temperature of water do you use? Hot, warm, or cold water?

Do you rinse the beans in a colander after they have soaked before using in the recipe.

Thank you!

Lynette

When soaking beans, I use tap water at room temperature and I cover the beans past the top about 2 inches or so. I leave them on the countertop overnight. Before cooking, I just pour off the water.
