Lately I've switched over from canned beans to dried beans, and I've been loving the swap. Not only are dried beans 3.5 times cheaper, but I honestly prefer the taste and texture of dried beans. They feel creamier and with a stronger bean taste instead of the kinda bland stuff from the can. Nothing against canned beans; those are tasty, cheap, and easy too! The problem with dried beans is that they can take a while to took. Instead of simmering them for hours, I simply give them an overnight soak in the fridge, and cook in the slow cooker all day. They take a lot of time, but there's only about 5 minutes of actual work to do. I just use salt in my beans, but feel free to add whatever other spices you like
