Looks like a great recipe and I am going to try it. I just wanted to point out that you should always cook kidney beans before putting them in a slow cooker. They have a toxin in them that is only destroyed via cooking. Slow cookers do not get hot enough to destroy the toxin. There is usually a warning on any slow cooker that you buy
