Hey tribal--welcome to Kind!! Cool name btw :)

Were you trying to make baked beans?

When I make beans, I too soak em' overnight. Then I boil the water w/ the beans in it, turn it down to a soft boil, and let them cook for a couple of hours, with the lid partially open. The beans come out supper soft and yummy!

Hope that helps! :-)
