Step 1: Brown beef, onion and bacon over medium high heat. Meanwhile, add all beans to crock-pot.
Step 2: Add beef mixture to beans and stir.
Step 3: Combine remaining ingredients with a whisk and stir into bean mixture.
Step 4: Turn crock-pot to low for at least 4 hours - I have made them farther in advance, they'll get thicker as time goes on.
Step 5: Oven directions: If you'd like to bake them in the oven, pour bean mixture into large dutch oven and bake at 350 for an hour.
