LowCarb Great Northern Bean Stew

• 1 lb. great northern white beans
• 3-4 bacon strips
• 1/4 cup baked ham, diced
• 1/4 cup each chopped onions
• 1/4 cup carrots, diced finely
• 1/4 cup bell peppers
• 1/4 cup celery
• 1 14 oz can diced tomatoes
• 1 bay leaf
• salt and pepper
• 1/4 cup cooking oil


Let beans soak overnight in the refrigerator.
Put all ingredients in slow cooker/Crock Pot and cook on low about 4 hours. If the beans are cooked but the "gravy" is too thin, you may have to boil the beans on the stove until it is thicker, or place about a third into blender, then stir in.
Remove bay leaf, and serve over cauliflower florets.
