Yes, there are dozens of recipes on google on how to make beans in a slow cooker. So i've already soaked the beans overnight, and rinsed them. im ready to throw them in, with some bacon... but most of the recipes tell you to cook the bacon first. well what if i just add sliced up RAW bacon into the mix when i start cooking the beans in the slow cooker? has anyone ever done this before? i dont wanna ruin anything! who has experience in this department?

HELP!
