       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.
