Title: Flatman Family Beans and Ham - Crockpot
Categories: Crockpot, Soup/stew, Typed, Favorite
Yield: 3 servings

12 oz Dried beans
5 c Water
2 c Ham, diced
1 c Celery, chopped
1 c Onion, diced
1/2 c Carrots, minced fine
1 ts Season salt (Lawry's)
2 ts Beef soup base or bouillon
1 ts Chicken soup base or buillon
1/4 ts Red pepper flakes
1 pn Dill weed
1 pn Caraway seeds
1 ea Clove garlic; minced

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.
