This turned out to be a great potluck pleaser. I wanted something that I could make in a crockpot and was in the protein category. I had all of the ingredients on hand, so I didn't even have to run to the grocery store. I made the beans before I went to bed, I put them in the fridge, and when I left for work in the morning I turned the beans on. Then when I got home from work the house smelled great!
