    2.5 cups dry white beans
    4 cups salt free chicken stock
    2 cups of water
    1 cup, chopped Carrots, raw
    1 cup, chopped Onions, raw

    2 tsp Fresh Ground Black Pepper
    4 tsp Cajun's Choice Blackened Seasoning (or to taste)

Tips

Do all the dicing the night before when you put the beans to soak. Then in the morning you can throw it all together before you go to work. Add the final ingredients when you get home, and enjoy.


Directions

Soak beans overnight in cold water. Drain the water off. Dice the Canadian Bacon and all the vegetables. Add all the remaining ingredients to the slow cooker, except for the cooked bacon slices, vegetable bullion, and salt. Set slow cooker to low and cook about 5-6 hours. Add the cooked diced bacon, vegetable bullion and salt. Simmer for another hour. You can cook this on high when pressed for time, and your cooking time will be cut in half.

For a little extra punch, add a diced chili pepper and a medium diced tomato.
