  2. Hello! I’m trying this out today, and had a question about the beans. Is that measurement before for the dry beans or cooked beans? I soaked some overnight and it looks like a LOT.

      1. Actually, this is GREAT! I wanted to make a double batch, but thought I didn’t have the beans to do it. Thanks for your help and for the recipe.

  3. Have you ever prepped everything up to the crockpot step? I wonder how it would freeze that way? Then you could thaw and dump in the crockpot on the day you want to eat it.

  4. I am putting the ingredients in my crockpot now and am thinking I messed up. I soaked and precooked the beans but when I put this altogether it looks like it will be a mushy, runny soup instead of chili. The beans were already quite soft from cooking over night (recipe calls for cooked beans right?) and when I add the liquid it is just a lot!! Also, having cooked the chicken already and then cooking it in the crockpot for so long makes me think it will be overdone. Help?!

    1. No you did it right! Cooked beans and cooked chicken. The crockpot time is for the flavors to meld together. The moisture will cook down.

  6. I have made a similar version for years. Could you not use canned, drained great northerns? Would save a lot of time and you can find these organic, as well.

    1. Yes, you certainly could use canned beans if you wanted and cook for a little less time. I would also reduce the chicken broth as well.
