Ingredients:
2 cups dry beans (whatever kind you have, or like)
1 lb ham hock or bacon
2 onions
Tabasco Sauce (as much as you can stand)
2 Tbl spoon vegetable oil (to keep the beans from foaming over)

Directions:
Combine beans, water, ham hock (if you are using bacon, cut into 1 inch squares, fry and add later after the beans are cooked) 1 of the onions (diced or sliced), vegetable oil and salt in crock-pot. Cook on high about 2-3 hours. Add water if need.

Add another onion (sliced) and more water if needed. (if using bacon add at this time. Use some of the bacon grease for added flavor.)

Boil until onion is soft, but not mushy.
Add tomato soup and Tabasco Sauce to taste (about 4 shakes)

Simmer for about 15 minutes.
