HOPPIN JOHN (SLOW COOKER)

Steps:

• 1. Drain the beans and add to your slow cooker. I used cooked dry beans.
• 2. Add remaining ingredients to your slow cooker. I added red and green bell peppers, celery, and bacon as variants as well as homemade chicken broth.
• 3. Give the pot a stir then cover and set to Low setting for 4 to 6 hours but anything past 8 hours and the beans will be really soft.
• 4. Stir the pot once an hour. Here it is at 4 hours, and it is perfect.
• 5. Serve over rice for a main dish or serve as is without rice as a side dish. Enjoy.
