After quick soaking the dry beans, follow package directions for this, rinse beans in fresh water then add all ingredients to the crock pot or slow cooker and cook on High for 3 to 4 hours and on low for 8 to 10 hours. I make mine on high but prefer to add to smoked sausage at the end or last 30 minutes or it feels too hard and done.Serving Size: Makes 8 one cup servingsNumber of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user MELTEA43.
