Directions:

  1. Cut up or chop uncooked bacon into a crock pot set on high and then cover. I use kitchen scissors to cut the bacon in pieces. Stir occasionally while you're soaking beans.
  2. Rinse your beans well, picking through & discarding any bad ones, then put them in a large pot.
  3. Cover beans with water up to about 2 inches above beans. Heat to a rolling boil, turn heat off, cover pot & let beans sit for one hour.
  4. Rinse soaked beans, then pour into crock pot with fresh water up to about 2 inches above beans.
  5. Add diced garlic, salt & pepper & diced carrots.
  6. Cook on low heat until beans are nice and soft (about 6 -8 hours depending on your crock pot).
  7. Adjust salt & pepper if needed.
  8. Remove approximately 1cup of the cooked beans from crock pot & mash them with a potato masher or run through a blender until smooth.
  9. Add mashed beans back into crock pot, stir in & serve.
  10. Serve with a green salad & plenty of fresh bread & butter. I pop some bread in the bread machine while the beans are crocking . Mmmmmmm good! This freezes well for those times when you're too busy to cook.
