Also, I used red bell peppers, so I did not add any sugar to the recipe. Since I used the grease from the sausage, I did not add any extra oil. Everybody at work really liked it.

I’ve made this dozens of times and I still have the occasional time where it’s just not quite right.

When soaking the beans overnight, make sure they’re covered in at least 3-4″ of water. You can also pre-cook them if you like a mushier bean. Even though my crock pot does tend to run hot, I’ve never gotten the beans to be extremely mushy.

I followed the directions and soaked my beans over night (I had them covered with water, but maybe I didn’t use enough – not sure since recipe didn’t specify). The beans had soaked up all the water by morning. I cooked the bean mixture on high for 12 hr and the beans still were not soft. Maybe my crockpot doesn’t cook as hot as yours? There was plenty of liquid on the bean mixture. My husband thought it was delicious, but I didn’t care for the texture since the beans weren’t soft. Next time I will soak my beans all day and night and see if that helps. Any other advice?
