Instructions: Combine all ingredients in crock pot except for the onion, bury that in the middle. Cover and cook on LOW for 13 to 14 hours. Stir occasionally if possible, if doing overnight, check in the morning and add a little more hot or boiling water if necessary (Ive never had to). Ive also stuck cloves into the onion if I didnt have any ground cloves; use 4 to 5 of them. Also, once when I was in a real hurry I put the 1/4 pound of salt pork in whole (the rind can be difficult to cut) and cut it up after. The onion practically disappears after cooking so long, and the aroma of the beans cooking is heavenly. Do not double for 4-quart cooker, but OK to double for 5-quart.
