Instructions



1. Put everything except the garnish in the crockpot on low heat. Cook, covered, for 6 to 10 hours.
   
   
2. Check liquid level, adding water if needed to cover the beans. If there is too much liquid, turn the heat on high and leave the pot uncovered for a few minutes. Reduce heat for several hours or until ready to serve. Beans should be very tender.
   
   
3. Remove bones and bay leaves and garnish before serving. Serve over rice with grilled or smoked sausage.
