*or, increase honey baked ham to 1 pound.

Place beans in a large, heavy pot, add water to cover by 2 inches and soak overnight.  Or, quick-soak by bringing them to a boil over medium-high heat, cover and let stand for 1 hour.  Drain and rinse several times.
Place soaked or quick-soaked beans back in the pot and add water to cover by 2 inches.  Bring to a boil until just tender but not mushy, about 45 minutes.  While cooking, skim off any foam that rises to the top.  Drain and set aside.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Place bacon in a heavy oven-proof pot.  Cook over low heat until fat is just rendered, about 5 to 6 minutes (do not brown).  Remove bacon bits with a slotted spoon and set aside.  Add onion to the pot and cook until wilted, 10 minutes.  Add peppers and cook, stirring, 5 minutes more.  Add beans, reserved bacon and the chopped tomatoes.  Then add the remaining ingredients except the reserved tomato juice, apples and salt.  Fold together and cover; bake for 2 hours. Add the apples and 1/2 cup of the reserved tomato juice and bake, uncovered, until thick and fragrant, about 2 hours.  Season with salt and serve hot and bubbly.

                           BASIC CROCKPOT BEANS

Recipe By     :
Serving Size  : 1    Preparation Time :0:00
Categories    : Beans

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2                    Onions, chopped
   2                    3 cloves garlic
   1       lb           Dried beans, soaked 4 hours
                        Or over night
   1                    2 bay leaves
                        Water to cover.

  Put in crockpot and cook about 4-6 hours on high or
  overnight on low. Beans should be soft (small white
  beans take longest, pinto beans shorter)
 
  Add spices, veggies, etc. (see below) cook about
  another hour.
 
  Spices:, veggies, etc:
 
  1) 1 tsp dried cumin, 1 tsp paprika, 1/4 tsp cayenne
  pepper, 1-2 Tbsp. soy sauce,   a few chili peppers,
  chopped, chopped green pepper, can chopped tomotoes,
  some frozen corn. (Good with black beans) 1/2 tsp
  liquid smoke tastes good added.
 
  2) 1 tsp cumin, 1 can chopped green chilis, chopped
  green pepper, 1 Tbsp soy sauce (good with white beans).
 
  3) 1-2 Tbsp soy sauce, 1/4 cup molasses, 1/4 tsp
  cayenne, 1/2 tsp dried mustard, (good with pinto or
  black eyed peas)
 
  Garbanzo beans I usually use as a substiute in chicken
  recipes, so I'll freeze them with just the onions and
  garlic.  Frozen black eyed peas are also a good staple
  to have on hand (for some reason that's the only
  legume that comes frozen except for lima beans which I
  don't like).

                       Bean, Barley & Sausage Soup

Recipe By     :

Categories    : Beans                            Soups & Stews

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
                        -----IOWA REC NEWS, MAY 1992-----

  1 lb Kidney beans, dry 1 pk Smoked Polish sausage,sliced 7 c Water 1 c
  Barley 2 Garlic cloves; peeled 3 Bay leaves
 
  Put rinsed beans in large saucepan. Add water, cover and let stand
  overnight.
 
  Drain off water the next day. Put beans, barley and remaining ingredients
  into crockpot.  Stir.  Cover and cook on high for 4 hours. Remove bay
  leaves.  Salt to taste when serving.
 
  Sylvia's comments:  I nuked the beans to fast-soak them, and it worked
  great.  Even the kids liked this one!  I used a fine-ground wurst instead
  of Polish sausage and cut it into bite-sized pieces before cooking. I also
  added some powdered beef stock to the water for cooking. Then I packed the
  soup into empty jars to take to work.  It reheats great! Also worked well
  for a quick supper for the kids. Definitely a keeper. I might add some
  chopped browned onions next time, though.

                       Black Bean and Veggie Chili

Recipe By     :
Serving Size  : 0    Preparation Time :0:00
Categories    : Beans

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
                        INGREDIENT
   1      large         onion chopped
   1      can           tomatoes -- (28 oz) if fresh
                        ones are not available
     2/3  cup           salsa
   2      t             ground cumin
                        basil
   2      cups          black beans (don't have to defrost)
                        or...sigh..canned
                        green bell pepper -- chopped
                        red bell pepper -- chopped
   2      cups          squash (I like yellow crookneck or
                        zucchini or whatever is cheapest
   1      in            the store)

I never saute my onions since it adds fat and steps to the recipe.
Occasionally, if I feel like ie, I stick my chopped onions in the microwave
for 30 seconds to remove the volatile oils,  which is why we saute them,
but I can't say I have ever noticed a difference.

I toss everything in to the crock pot and forget about it.  To make larger
quantities, I use the biggest pot I have and cook it on the stove a bit.
If I plan to freeze it, I under cook it somewhat, as the veggies get very
limp and tired looking if they are completely cooked, then frozen then
reheated.

Beans have a funny way of absorbing liquid when they freeze, so I tend to
toss in some extra salsa or tomato juice or V8 when I reheat it, which I do
in the microwave.

can serve as a soup, or over brown rice, can top with cheese, more salsa,
sour cream, whatever.

                        cut into bite size -- pieces
   1      pound         Same cut into 2 to 3 inch -- links to serve on th
                        and pepper to taste

Preparation : "Feijoada Completa" Ingredients: Meats: Beans: Wash and look for gravel then soak overnight in a bowl being sure  beans are well covered with water. For cooking use a large crock pot or soup pot, cast iron preferable.   First, brown bulk sausage in a skillet and pour off excess grease.  I have  discovered a lean bulk sausage that is great, much less grease and fat.  Add other meats and stir to brown. Add bell pepper, onion, garlic, celery,  parsley, oregano, basil, bay leaf, and clove. Salt and pepper moderately,  taste after cooking several hours and add more if needed.  Add beans and  soak water and if necessary add more water to cover entire ingredients by  at least two inches. Stir in four bouillon cubes. Cover and cook on crock pot high for three hours then turn to low for at  least six hours.  If cooking in a stove top soup pot, bring to a LOW boil  for two hours then continue cooking on low simmer for six hours, stirring  every hour or two to keep from sticking on the bottom of the pot. I like  to use the crock pot and leave it cooking on low overnight. I stir it  about twice and sometimes find it necessary to add water. If it gets too  watery, take about 1/2 cup of beans and mash with a fork until pasty to  add back as a thickener. About an hour before serving stir in vinegar.  Serve beans and meat over rice.  I have found brown rice to be quite tasty  but white rice is fine too. Serve in a soup bowl and top with fresh  chopped onion. The Brazilians top with farina or wheat germ. Serve the extra sausage, which has been browned separately, on the side  for those who want extra meat. Compliment your main dish with a mixed green salad consisting of  everything but the kitchen sink and oil ===============   Reply  160 of Note    1 =================   Board: FOOD BB Topic:      FOOD SOFTWARE Subject:    ZMM-TEXAS2-150+

Recipe By     :
Serving Size  : 6    Preparation Time :0:00
Categories    : Beans

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
                        *****  NONE  *****

3 lb Brisket 1 1/2 lb Green beans 6 Potato -- peel/quarter 1/4 ts Marjoram -- crumbled : Salt & pepper -- to taste

1- Wipe meat and place in large pot. Cover with about 2 cups water. Vegetables may be added to the meat in a crock pot along with seasonings and the whole thing cooked 1O hours. 2- In a dutch oven, simmer 2 to 2 1/2 hours before adding vegetables, then continue until potatoes are done. 3- In a pressure cooker, bring brisket, water and seasonings to 15 # pressure and cook for 3O to 4O minutes. Reduce pressure under cold water, open cooker, add vegetables, cover, bring to 15# pressure and cook 5 minutes, reduce pressure again. However you cook it, remove meat, slice thinly on the diagonal, serve with green beans and potatoes drenched with cooking liquid. Do not thicken the natural gravy. It has a lovely flavor and should not be greasy. If your meat is not well trimmed, remove excess fat before cooking. Should you have leftovers, heat the remaining liquid and slice the meat for open face or French dip hot sandwiches.

                               Chili Verde

Recipe By     : NAWK/Internet
Serving Size  : 1    Preparation Time :0:00
Categories    : Pork & Ham                       Beans
                Chili                            Main Dishes
                Mexican

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2      pounds        lean pork
   1      large         onion -- coarsely chopped
   1      large         green bell pepper -- coarsely chopped
   4      cloves        garlic minced
   1      4 oz can      diced green chiles
   2                    jalapenos sliced
   4      medium        tomatillos
   2      teaspoons     oregano
   1      teaspoon      dried red chili peppers
   2      teaspoons     sage
   1      teaspoon      cumin seeds
                        black pepper (optional)
     1/2  cup           beer (optional)
                        salt and pepper to taste

Coarsely chop and saute the onion and green pepper in olive oil with the garlic. Throw into the crockpot.  Also throw in the green chilis.  Depending on your propensity for spicy  food, you may add from 1-3 jalapenos.  Then, throw the tomatillos in the pot.  Trim off all the excess fat you can from the pork, cut into cubes, and  brown in the pan that you sauteed the onion, etc. in. Put into the pot.  Now, the seasoning mixture.  I prefer to grind up the spices in my mortar, perhaps with some black pepper.  I almost never put salt in anything, so I probably wouldn't here either, but you may want to.  I probably would add a dash of beer for obscure reasons.  This crockpots all day, or could be simmered for probably about 2 hours.

NOTES : Author's Notes:     This is adapted from Diana Kennedy, other sources, memory, and  experience. And, I have been making it quite a while in my crockpot. The  recipe should be easily adaptable for simmering in a pot for a couple of  hours instead.     Traditionally, this is served in bowls, with hot flour tortillas, salsa, and cilantro. You can also have sour cream, grated cheese, olives, and pickled carrots and jalapenos around. Of course, you wrap all this up in the tortillas, making killer burritos. I throw one twist into this, a technique that comes from carnitas. After cooking, I separate the meat from the broth, crisp the meat under the broiler, and reduce the sauce in the pan. This adds a great texture to the meat, and keeps the burritos from being too soggy.
