White beans and Tomatoes

If you don't have sun-dried tomatoes in your cupboard add a cup of finely chopped seeded fresh tomatoes for a slightly different flavor

1 lb dried great northern beans, sorted and rinsed
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
6 cups water
1 1/2 tsp dried basil leaves
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
3/4 cup finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil
1 (2.25-oz) can sliced ripe olives, drained

Mix all ingredients except tomatoes and olives in slow cooker. Cover and cook on high heat setting 4 to 5 hours or until beans are tender. Stir in tomatoes and olives.
