How to Make Country French White Beans
- Rinse 1 pound of dried white beans and place them in a large bowl. Add enough water to cover the beans by about 2 inches.
- Soak the beans overnight in the refrigerator.
- Drain the soaked beans thoroughly.
- In your crockpot, combine the drained beans, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, 1/2 cup chopped onion, 2 cloves minced garlic, 4 ounces diced bacon (or pancetta), 1/2 cup chopped celery, 1/4 cup chicken broth, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 bay leaf, and 1/2 teaspoon of Dijon mustard.
- Cover and cook on high for 3 1/2 to 5 hours, or until the beans are tender. Check for doneness starting at the 3 1/2 hour mark.
- Stir in 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper and cook for an additional 15 minutes to heat through.
