BUILT FOR CAMP MEALS, CABIN COOKING, AND FOOD BACKUP
Dried beans are a dependable camp and pantry staple, but the usual soaking and long cooking time can burn through time and stove fuel. Ready Hour Quick-Cook Black Beans give you the same familiar versatility with a much shorter 10 to 12-minute simmer.
Keep the can at the cabin, in the camper, at base camp, or on your home food shelf. The beans work in rice dishes, soups, chili, burritos, and one-pot meals, giving you a simple way to add more calories and protein without relying on refrigeration.

MAKE MORE OF THE FOOD YOU ALREADY PACKED
A useful camp pantry is built around ingredients that can work together. Combine these black beans with rice, vegetables, tortillas, seasonings, or smaller portions of meat to turn basic supplies into a more filling meal.
You also control how much gets cooked. Prepare one 1/2-cup serving for yourself, make enough for the family, or scale up for a group while leaving the rest dry and protected in an airtight container. That flexibility helps reduce waste and makes it easier to adapt when trip lengths, group sizes, or meal plans change.
Preparation Directions
- Remove the lid and take out the oxygen absorber.
- Measure the beans and water using the instructions on the label.
- Bring the water to a boil before adding the beans.
- Stir and reduce the burner to medium heat.
- Simmer for 10 to 12 minutes.
- Strain if desired.
- Serving Amount: A 1/4-cup dry portion yields approximately 1/2 cup of prepared black beans.
