Add onions to pan with bacon grease and cook on medium heat until beginning to caramelize, about 15 minutes.
Add garlic and cook additional 2 minutes.
Combine remaining ingredients in the same large pot that you soaked the beans. Bring to a boil over mediumhigh
heat. Add beans and return to boil. Pour into crockpot.
Add crisp bacon, onions and garlic with bacon grease into crockpot. Cover and cook on high for 5­6 hours or on
