Yes! While canned beans are a great time saver and make this recipe take only a few minutes to throw together, dried beans are highly economical and you can control the amount of sodium they contain. There are plenty of guides for doing this online, but I’d recommend soaking 2 cups dried white beans in plenty of water overnight (in the fridge). Then drain and rinse the beans. Add to a pot with a very large pot (they expand a lot while cooking!) and cover with a few inches of water. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer covered for about 1-2 hours until the beans are tender. You’ll want to stir occasionally. You can also cook dried white beans in a pressure cooker, but you’ll want to refer to the manual for your brand of pressure cooker for instructions. I generally do about 25 minutes (for most white beans) at high pressure and then do a natural release (beans tend to burst if you do a quick release), but I have 6 qt Instant Pot Duo so that’s only what I do for my individual pressure cooker.
