Crock Pot /Slow Cooker French Canadian Beans

• 2 cups navy beans (measured prior to soaking)
• 1 14 cups water
• 34 lb bacon (sliced small)
• 1 medium onions (chopped) or 1 large onion (chopped)
• 3 garlic cloves (chopped or sliced)
• 3 tablespoons ketchup
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons molasses (optional)
• 1 12 tablespoons dry mustard
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 14 teaspoon cayenne pepper

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