32 ounce vegetable broth
14.5 ounce can beef broth

Cut bacon into one inch pieces and fry until crispy. Remove from pan and drain grease on plate lined with paper towels.
Once beans have soaked overnight, drain beans and place in crock pot. Next add chopped bacon, onions, garlic, jalapeños, seasonings, Rotel®, vegetable broth, beef broth and water to crock pot. Stir and cook on low 10-12 hours or high 6-8 hours.

Notes

It's important to sort and soak your beans for the best flavor and quality.

Be sure your beans have at least 2 inches of water above them when soaking. They'll absorb the water over their several-hour soak.
