Yummy! I totally left out the ham and substituted some good pastrami instead. I used 1/2 pound navy beans and 1/2 pound chick peas. This is very similar to the Jewish hamin or cholent, and like those dishes I placed all the ingredients in the slow cooker late Friday afternoon and cooked it on low until we were ready for lunch around noontime Saturday. The aroma of the pastrami mixed with the molasses and brown sugar pervading the house all Friday night while we slept gave us amazingly sweet dreams!

Very Yummy!! I started this in the crock-pot in the afternoon and we had it for supper after our high school football game that night. We came home to a hearty, delicious, very easy meal. Thanks!!

Oh so yummy!!! I followed your cooking directions and the beans and vegetables turned out nice and tender. The flavor had a wonderful savory but slightly sweet taste. A hearty meal that my family and I enjoyed. Thanks.

Enjoyed coming home to this after a very long work day. Used three skinless boneless breasts and shredded them at the end of the cook time. Great over brown rice.

We found this recipe a bit bland for our tastes. I subbed chicken sausage for most of the chicken, and added garlic, cayenne, parsley, oregano, and more salt and pepper, to finally get it flavorful. Nothing really wrong with the recipe, but not to our taste. Note: Our crockpot is older and the times provided were no where near long enough for our pot. No fault of the recipe, but a note to crockpot users that their times may vary.
