Flatman family beans and ham - crockpot

3 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
12 ounces Dried beans
5 cups Water
2 cups Ham, diced
1 cup Celery, chopped
1 cup Onion, diced
½ cup Carrots, minced fine
1 teaspoon Season salt (Lawry's)
2 teaspoons Beef soup base or bouillon
1 teaspoon Chicken soup base or buillon
¼ teaspoon Red pepper flakes
1 pinch Dill weed
1 pinch Caraway seeds
1 Clove garlic; minced

Directions

If using beans other than Lima's. To make sure the beans are tender at the end of the cooking time, soak beans overnight, or boil on stovetop for 10 minutes prior to adding them to the crockpot. (I normally use home-grown horticultural beans which are close to pinto beans) Combine all ingredients in crockpot. Cook on low 8 hours or until beans are tender.

Note: Use 4 cups water for Baby Lima beans.

Use 2 T dried vegetables in place of 1 c fresh.

I use 1 T dried carrot tops in place of sliced fresh carrots.
