Cooking Directions

  1. Rinse beans, discarding any that are bad, as well as unwanted debris.

  2. Add rinsed beans to a 6 qt slow cooker.

  3. Add water, stock, sugar, shallot, meat (optional), garlic, peppercorns, salt, bay leaf, ground cinnamon, cinnamon stick, butter, and 1 tsp of seasoning.

  4. Place lid and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8-9 OR until beans are soft and liquid is absorbed.
