I used dry beans instead of canned. (1 cup red beans + 1 cup Great Northern beans). I boiled and soaked them the night before, then added everything to the slow cooker and cooked it overnight. I reduced the amount of onion to 1/4 of a medium yellow onion. Added about 1 tsp of cumin, 1/2 tsp nutmeg, a few grinds from the pepper mill and about 1 tsp Mrs Dash Chicken seaoning. I didn't have the thyme or savory and I chose to leave out the bay leaf.

The taste and aroma remind me of BBQ baked beans. I think next time I will add a little maple syrup to this and brown sugar or honey.

Makes about 64 ounces or 8 one cup servings
