In most cases, it is best to drain the beans
before using in chili, soups, etc.

Save the drained liquid until the
recipe is finished, though, because
if the finished dish is a bit too
thick, you can add a bit of that
rather than just add water.

NOTE:
If you are concerned about sodium,
then drain and rinse the beans
before adding to the chili, and
discard the liquid.
