Slice the raw bacon into 1/2 inch pieces. Cook on the stove top in a skillet until HALFWAY browned, drain. Add to the slow cooker.
Add the remaining ingredients and stir.
Place the lid on the slow cooker.
Cook on LOW for 5 hours or HIGH for 3.5 hours.
Stir, serve and enjoy!
Note - If your slow cooker cooks hot, be sure to stir these once or twice at the end of the cooking time. Mine had no problem, but often on thick and sweet recipes they tend to stick on the edges.
