      The flavours are yummy, but you definitely need to make sure your black eyed beans are properly cooked before putting them in the slow cooker, rather than boiling for “at least 10 minutes”. I cooked mine for 15-20, before putting them in the slow cooker for 7 hours on low (before adding pumpkin & green beans), and they weren’t properly cooked. I’ll make this again, but will need to tweak it.
