Canned Beans

Bulk dry beans are so cheap that I've always got some on hand, but I still found myself buying canned beans in a pinch until I found this easy pressure canning method for canning my own dry beans. This isn't strictly USDA protocol, but I feel confident enough in the method that I'll even feed it to my kids.
