We had this last night. It needed a lot of hot sauce to make it "zippy."
But it was quite good and the leftover cornbread was delicious cut in
half, spread with cream cheese, some chipotle and then heated. Oooo...I
just had it. Delicious:

NOTES : I found this at the Crockpot Archives at
Southernfood.miningco.com but it is not a crockpot recipe. Kind of
confusing, isn't it? Anyway, it looked really good and is. I didn't have
dried cannellini or great northern beans so I used pinto. But it was
still good. 

I served it with my adapted version of Susan Powter's Cornbread and a
selection of hot sauces on the side.

Serving Ideas : chili

NOTES : * I used some all natural sugar I had. You can use that or the
brown, not much of a sweetness difference.

** I didn't have already made buttermilk so I used buttermilk powder and
water for the amount needed.

*** I didn't feel like separating eggs so I used Just Whites and water
whipped up in the food processor. So much easier to me.
