Notes
Sauteing is a critical step to maximizing flavor so don’t skip it.Beer adds complexity to the dish, so definitely go for a brew that you like and has some depth to it. AVOID light beers!Make sure you have enough liquid ingredients to cover beans by about 2 inches.Use dry beans and rinse them well to ensure any and all hard pebbles have been removedThis recipe also works with other beans as well including kidney and pinto.
