The recipe is good, but a little too spicy for my wife and me. As another reviewer commented, soaking the beans for only two hours didn't do the trick. The beans were still very hard. We heated the leftovers on the stove for several hours two days later and they were just right, Surely the beans need to be soaked overnight.

I followed this recipe exactly and the beans were hard. So, I turned it on for another four hours on high with more water and three hours in they are still hard. I think the cooking or soaking time on the recipe is wrong because I have a new slow cooker and it usually gets my slow cooker recipes done more quickly then the recipe time suggests. The flavor is wonderful though!

I try to appreciate vegetarian recipes more often, but this one left me wanting big chunks of smoked meat in it. It's OK as a small side dish. Took a lot longer to cook, and I added water twice, but I don't blame the recipe for that. Beans seem to have a mind of their own.
