Ode to the Slow Cooker: Navy Bean Bacon Chowder

So, for those of you that don't know us personally, Krissy and I are major devotees of the slow cooker. Braving this urban lifestyle and enduring physically demanding jobs, the ability to know that we can still come home to a warm place and smells of home cooking is like a dream come true. Not to mention it has been our pleasure to preach the good word of the slow cooker to our dearest friends and get them on board as well. So this entry is for Jody and Bob.

Today we are testing out a new recipe. Navy bean bacon chowder. Need I say more?

This comes from a book my future mother-in-law hooked us up with some Christmases ago. I don't know where she got it, likely a good ol' fashion country yard sale, but we haven't been let down yet.

Pictures of the yum to be posted later I hope.
