Crockpot Picnic Beans

I've been making these beans for my identify unit of measurement for 30+ years too they are e'er a hit. Now that nosotros are empty nesters, I brand a large pot of these too and then freeze them inwards two loving cup containers for a quick too yummy side dish for whatsoever meal. 

I lay the next ingredients (which are e'er inwards my pantry) into a large crockpot earlier I larn to bed too permit them educate on LOW all night.

2 cups DRY navy beans (do non soak)

6 cups water

1/2 loving cup black dark-brown carbohydrate  (light dark-brown carbohydrate plant good too)

3 teaspoons salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1 teaspoon dry out mustard powder

3/4 loving cup sweetness onion chopped modest too sautéed

(1) 8 ounce tin tomato plant sauce

small pinch of cayenne pepper

6 slices crisp cooked too drained bacon

Now, a give-and-take almost the beans:  Over the years, I've tried every form of DRY edible bean at that spot is too they ALL work, however, the tiny piddling "navy beans" run the best too tolerate re-heating without going mushy. I highly recommend that you lot purpose navy beans. Make certain you lot rinse too sort the dry out beans, but create NOT pre-soak them.

Put everything into a large crockpot too comprehend alongside half dozen cups of water. Stir good too onrush low for 12 hours. The terminal 3-4 hours, prop the lid of the tiresome cooker opened upward (just a little) alongside a spoon, to thicken the sauce. 

Note almost onions: When I stimulate upward one's hear to brand these beans (and I'm out of fresh onions), I purpose a scant tablespoon of dehydrated onion flakes, they run well.

ENJOY !!!
