No. Quick-cook beans are ones that have been partially cooked and then dehydrated. Because of this, they don't take nearly as much time to reconstitute and soften when used in meals. Regular dry beans need to be soaked first, and the nature of the meals in a jar makes that hard to do. Plus, the recipe was tested and written specifically to use the quick-cook beans, so cook time and water amounts would need to be changed as well. For that reason I really recommend just sticking with the quick-cook beans here, honestly.
