I have made this dish several times and it has been perect each time. So easy to do. Put everything in the crockpot and you are done. Today I added celery and carrot and the aroma is wonderful. Thanks Claire for this recipe. Will continue to make it.

May be just a personal taste preference but, I think the recommendation to pre-soak the beans is misguided. I used small red beans straight from the bag. Added a bay leaf, some celery and green pepper along with the other stated recipe ingredients. Then, cooked on high in a slow-cooker for about 5 hours. Needed to add a bit more water about 3 hours into the cooking time. The beans were creamy and delicious with perfect texture.
