crock pot notes
Crock pots/slow cookers all heat differently. There is no standard among manufacturers. Cooking times are suggested guidelines based on our testing. Please adjust cooking times and temps to work with your brand and model of slow cooker.nutrition data

I was looking for something different and it fit the bill! I can't do chick peas, so I substituted with Northern Beans and it was great. Thanks for sharing the receipt!

i make this often to bring to parties. i prefer to use cooked bacon (a whole pound crumbled), more onion and molasses instead of the brown sugar (although i have used either). i also like the sweet crust so i bake it in the oven after combining on the stovetop.
