Soak Beans overnight in cold water, Drain and add to Crock Pot Cover beans with enough water to have a few inches above the beans, add all seasonings (yes, you can do real onions and different seasonings, I put mine together in about 5 minutes so I was in a hurry) Cover and cook in the crock pot on High 7 hours or Low 8-10 hours (you may need to add additional water).
