My mom's comment about beans got me thinking

I was on the phone with my mom last weekend and she said I should try using dried beans instead of canned. She said it saves like $2 a can and they taste better. I always figured it was too much work but she made it sound simple. Does anyone here actually cook dried beans regularly? How much extra time does it really add to your meal prep?

Girl trust me, your mom is 100% right. Soaking them overnight is the easiest thing ever, then you just boil and simmer for like an hour while you do other stuff. You save money and they don't get that weird mushy texture canned beans have.

Honestly did a buddy of mine try dried beans and he said it was way less work than he thought?

Soaking overnight and simmering while doing other stuff is seriously the easiest thing ever.
