CROCK POT RANCH STYLE BEANS RECIPE

Steps:

• Place all of the ingredients in the crock pot in order. I like to put the water in last because it tends to 'mix' everything nicely together.
• If you do not like to mince garlic yourself, you can substitute 3-4 teaspoons of bottled minced garlic. (This is an indulgence, but it is a big convenience and sometimes you can find it marked down. Plus, one little bottle will last a long time.)
• Cook on low 8 hours or high for 5 hours.
• Serve hot and toss a pinch (or two) of shredded cheese on top for a little extra yum!

CROCK POT /SLOW COOKER FRENCH CANADIAN BEANS

Steps:

• Soak 2 cups of bean in water over night, or in the morning. The beans must have soaked a minimum of 6 hours. For those who have never soaked beans, pour the beans in to a bowl and cover beans with water. Water should be at lease 1/2 inch to 3/4 of an inch above beans. This allows beans to absorb enough water with out getting dry.
• Strain and pour the beans in the crockpot. Slice your bacon I use scissors if it is completely unthawed medium to thin slices. Chop onions to your preferred size I like Medium, and chop garlic. Add to the beans.
• Pour water into a bowl and mix remaining ingredients in the water and stir. Pour over beans and mix well.
• Cover turn on LOW and cook 8 to 10 hours. DO NOT LIFT THE LID, only when it is close to the end of cooking time. Take a test and see if you like the texture, if not cook for remainder time.
