Instructions
Pour beans into a large pot, cover with water and let sit overnight. The next morning, drain and rinse beans then set aside.
In a large skillet, brown chopped bacon until crisp. Remove with slotted spoon to a paper towel.
Add onions to pan with bacon grease and cook on medium heat until beginning to caramelize, about 15 minutes. Add garlic and cook additional 2 minutes.
Combine remaining ingredients in the same large pot that you soaked the beans. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add beans and return to boil. Pour into crockpot.
Add crisp bacon, onions and garlic with bacon grease into crockpot. Cover and cook on high for 5-6 hours or on low for 10-12 hours. Stir occasionally.
When beans are fully cooked, let crockpot sit on warm setting and simmer for an additional 30 minutes to 1 hour to thicken.
Notes
Total time does not include the overnight soaking time for the beans.
