The afternoon/evening before you plan to serve the beans, place dried beans in colander and pick through them removing any small stones or other foreign matter.Rinse the beans well and place in a large glass bowl, or remove your ceramic crockpot from its base and soak directly in the crockpot.Add about four times the volume of very warm water to beans. (I use a combo of half "almost boiling" water to room temp water.)Place bowl (or ceramic crockpot) in your oven with the oven light on and the door closed for 8-12 hours. (You might want to leave a post-it on your oven door to remind you not to turn on your oven – trust me – been there done that! Ha ha!)If you have time, ideally, it's best to drain the beans, rinse them and put them back through this same soak process again (which would extend the soak time and help to further reduce phytic acid, and further increase digestibility).Once the beans are finished soaking, drain them, rinse them thoroughly and put them in the crockpot with the above ingredients.Set crockpot on low and cook for about 8-10 hours.Remove strips of bacon before serving.
