Juliann, I haven't tried freezing the barbequed chicken because we eat it all up each time I make it :) I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. Depending on when I need my meal is how I choose Low or High power to cook the chicken. I use Low for about 4-5 hours (like before going to church in the A.M. to have an early afternoon meal) or on High for 8-10 hours to cook all day while I am busy with the kiddos. The crockpot is very forgiving just check it to see if it's done, if not continue cooking. If it is done earlier than you are it can stay there safely until you are ready. As to how much barbeque sauce, just pour it on to coat the pieces you have, no need to measure.

Connie, I haven't tried this one, but it sounds really good.

I don't know if you want recipes using dry beans or canned.I found these at Cooks.com.The first one is using dried beans,the others from a can.I think you could use any baked bean recipe in the crock pot. Glenda has a good one posted here also that could be adapted to the crock pot. These are not my recipes.I make mine pretty much like the second recipe with canned pork and beans but instead of using barbecue sauce I use Catchup. CROCK POT BAKED BEANS 2 c. navy beans (soak overnight and drain) 1/2 tsp. salt 2 tbsp. molasses 1 tbsp. sugar 2 tbsp. brown sugar 2 1/2 c. water 1 tbsp. dry mustard 1 sm. onion, minced 1/2 lb. salt pork or a ham bone Mix together and boil for 30 minutes. Place in a crock pot and cook on low for 8 hours. Add water if needed. CROCK POT BAKED BEANS 2 (1 lb.) cans pork and beans 4 slices bacon, cut up 2/3 c. chopped onion 1/2 c. barbecue sauce 1/3 c. firmly packed brown sugar 1 tbsp. prepared mustard Mix together and cook on "High" for 4 hours. Freezes well. BAKED BEANS IN CROCK POT 2 (28 oz.) cans Bush baked beans 1 sm. onion, chopped 1/4 c. molasses 6 or 7 strips bacon, cooked crispy & crumbled 1/4 c. bacon grease 1/4 c. brown sugar Mix all and put in crock pot on low for 2 to 3 hours.

Wanted to add another note about the curry powder. Might be my tastebuds are not as sensitive as I've gotten older but I'm starting to use curry powder like MSG but keeping the amount fairly small to keep the taste from being too overwhelming. Don't like MSG cause there are reports it is bad for the eyes so I just almost always add a half teaspoon or so of curry to whatever I'm cooking if I want it to have a "tastier" taste (whatever that means,LOL). Especially good if you're trying to revive leftovers. There is news, for those who haven't heard, that there appears to be a lot of good health reasons to use curry (still being studied, though). Seems that Curcumin, the prime ingredient of curry is believed to protect one against breast cancer. Also, it seems that Alzheimer's is almost unheard of in India so they are thinking that Curcumin might have something to do with it. Nothing proven of course, with the cost of research, probably won't be proven anytime soon but this is one time where you can get something else for your money, i.e.good taste, when you try an alternative health cure.
