Women's Bean Project chili in slow-cooker?
Hi, Chowhounders. I have a couple 13-oz dried bean/spice packages from the Women's Bean Project--one is Firehouse #10 Hot Chili Mix, and the other is Old Fashioned Mild Chili Mix. Has anyone tried cooking these in a slow-cooker (and even better, at altitude), and if so, what was the cooking time, and at which setting? Did you need to add additional liquid to the slow-cooker?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions you may have!

I haven't used those mixes but the general rule of thumb is less liquid in the crockpot. Time depends on the slow cooker because they all run different temperatures but I usually do it on low for 4-5 hours. I do cook everything first on the stove and then transfer it.

The Women's Bean Project is based in Denver - they're probably the best resource for info on cooking their products, especially at higher altitudes (and they're a great organization)....
