Instead of using ham hocks or ham shanks I used European bacon I cut the bacon in half and then cut it into big chunks I added pepper Himalayan salt minced bay leaves Herbs De Provence and a little Italian seasoning my boyfriend raves about how good they are made these last month and making them again tonight, the first time I made these in my crock pot it only took four hours to cook they came out delicious they were so flavorful if you get the chance to make these I highly recommend it and try using European bacon I got mine at Fred Meyer European bacon has such a wonderful flavor this is my go-to recipe when I want northern beans this is a wonderful recipe especially on a very cold snowy wintery dayTina Remyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16562000917752362739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8390396285139687239.post-54578809959717963742018-01-25T17:56:40.077-06:002018-01-25T17:56:40.077-06:00Same here...

I did not soak the beans overnight Instead, to speed things up, I microwaved Navy beans for about 7 minutes (covered with water of course), then drained, rinsed, and cooked in the crock pot. They were done in about 3 hours. Adding brown sugar really makes a difference, too.

I never soak my northern beans because they cook up just fine for me in my crock pot. Other readers were stating that the beans are still hard after 5 hours of cooking so in the RECIPE it states to soak the beans.
