Here’s an easy way to make that Southern classic – in the slow cooker. You just dump it all in the slow cooker and turn it on. Ok, you do need to stir them a couple times, but the effort is minimal. And since I use the packaged real crumbled bacon pieces, you get all that great smoky bacon flavor without having to cook bacon – or even better – without having to clean the kitchen after cooking bacon. ? They’re perfect for special occasions and free up space on the cooktop. But they’re also easy enough to complement most any meal. Y’all enjoy!
