  • Cook on low for 6 hours
  • Add beans and cook on low for an additional 1 hour

Notes

We are not huge bean fans, but we don't hate them, so we add a half a can...... add as many as you'd like; or none!
You can leave the seeds in the habanero pepper if you're looking for extra heat.....you can also remove the pepper after the cook and dice it up and throw it back in.
Serve however you'd like.....I put a dollop of sour cream, thick cut cheddar, scallions and some crushed red pepper flakes for a little extra boost of heat!
And...... TEXAS TOAST!
