Ingredients for Boiled Peanuts:

- 2 tbsp of salt, heaping
- ½ gallon + 2 cups of water
How to Make Boiled Peanuts in the Crockpot:
Step 1
Add the raw peanuts to the crockpot, then spread them evenly, and sprinkle the salt all over the peanuts. Pour in all of the water, then cover it with the lid, and put a kitchen towel over the top to trap all of the steam that will escape back into the crockpot.

Step 2
Turn the crockpot on a high setting, then cook the peanuts for about 8 hours, and turn the setting to warm to keep the peanuts from cooling down or if you want them served warm. Scoop out the peanuts with a slotted spoon, then crack them open, and enjoy!
