Directions:
Place your bacon in the freezer for 15 minutes. This makes it easier to chop up. Fry in a pan for several minutes. No need to get it crispy because it is gonna cook in soup for hours.
Combine all ingredients other than the salt & pepper in a large crock pot. If you add the salt at this point it will make the beans tough.
Cook on high for 6-8 hours.
Mash up some of the beans. I used my handy dandy Pampered Chef Mix & Chop. Add salt & pepper to taste.
Enjoy!
