Beans are fairly easy to make. I make mine in a pressure cooker because it cuts the cooking time. If you want quick cooking beans, I'd look at black eyed peas or even lentils. Other beans require some soaking time (usually overnight/during day) and then may take a couple hours to cook. Pressure cooker is a lot quicker and you can go from unsoaked beans to cooked, delicious beans in an hour with little active cooking time.
Just lurking around and found this thread. I love beans, but I've never cooked dry beans. How do you prepare them, other than using the pressure cooker? What seasonings do you use?
