We love to eat these out of a can. Just rinse drain and then eat, but the home-made version is way better.

2For Crockpot method: Plug in Crockpot and add enough hot or boiling water to cover beans. Set Crockpot on high for 3½ to 4 hours or more until beans are tender.
3For stovetop method: Follow recipe. Put garbanzo beans in a large soup pot on the stove and add enough hot or boiling water to cover beans. Keep a careful watch so that beans do not stick or run out of water or they will burn.
