Chef's Notes
Treat your navy beans with the respect of a visiting dignitary. The overnight soak is non-negotiable if you wish to avoid a mutiny at the dinner table.
Pro Tip
Never discard the bean-cooking liquid during the drain phase! That starchy gold is the secret weapon that transforms your sauce from watery regret into velvet perfection.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Failing to check your liquid levels during the two-hour bake will result in a scorched, charcoal-flavored disaster that smells like a medieval chimney sweep's boots.
