Rinse the beans in a colander. Pick out any bad beans.
Combine all the ingredients in the crock-pot. Remove any floating beans. Cover, and cook on HIGH for 4 hours and on LOW for 2 hours.
Uncover, and remove extra liquid. Leave enough liquid to reach the desired consistency when the beans are mashed.
Mash beans with a potato masher to desired consistency.
