  * For baked beans and chili with beans, it will be necessary to
  simmer the dry beans in three times their volume of unsalted water
  for 30 minutes in a saucepan. Allow to stand, covered, for an hour
  and a half or until softened; drain and add remaining ingredients.

  Parboil dry beans until soft; drain well. Put all ingredients in
  crock pot in order listed. Stir once. Cover and cook on LOW for 10 to
  12 hours. (HIGH: 5 to 6 hours.)

  NOTE: When using canned beans (two 1-pound cans), drain liquid.
