INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 1 1/2 cups dried great Northern beans, rinsed
  • 2 cups water
  • 6 slices bacon
  • 1 carrot, chopped
  • 1 stalk celery, chopped
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 potato - peeled and cubed
  • 1 teaspoon Italian-style seasoning
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3 (14.5 ounce) cans low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk

DIRECTIONS

  1. Place beans in a large bowl with the water, cover, and soak overnight.
  2. In a large skillet over medium to medium high heat, fry the bacon until crispy. Drain the bacon fat and crumble the bacon; set aside.
  3. In a slow cooker, combine the carrot, celery, onion, potato, Italian- style seasoning, ground black pepper, reserved beans and crumbled bacon. Pour the broth over all.
  4. Cover and cook on low setting for 7 1/2 to 9 hours, or until beans are crisp to tender.
