Day One:
Pick over the dry beans to remove any dirt, stones, or other
foreign materials. Then in a large (and I do mean LARGE) pot, rinse
the beans. Then bring the beans to a boil in the large pot after
covering them with a lot of water. They're going to soak up a ton
of water and grow to be about twice as big as they were when dry.
Boil them for two minutes, take them off the heat, cover the pot,
and let them stand for a full hour. After that, put them back on
the stove and simmer on low heat for an hour and a half, still
covered.
Pour the beans and their liquid into a bowl, cover it, and put it
in the refrigerator overnight. Yes, overnight. This recipe is going
to take two days.
Day Two:
In the morning, drain all but 2 cups of the bean water.
To the beans and water add all the other ingredents. Mix very well.
Put it all into the crock pot (it may take several crock pots,
depending on how big yours are). Cook on low setting for 13 to
14 hours. Stir it now and then, but don't take the lid off very
often, as this slows cooking significantly.
When your long wait is over, sit back and enjoy your pot of caboose
beans, The wait is definitely worth it.
