  30. NOTES:

  31. A Hearty Bean Stew -- I got this recipe from "A

  32. Primer on Bean Cookery" by the California Dry Bean

  33. Advisory Board and other organizations. This savory

  34. stew, featuring ham and beans, borrows its robust

  35. seasonings from the chuck wagon cooks of the old

  36. western cattle ranges. The secret is long, slow

  37. cooking, and your electric slow-cooker is ideal for the job. Just follow the directions that come with

  38. your particular model. If you don't have one,

  39. slow-cook the mixture on top of the stove in a heavy

  40. pot with a lid.

  41. : Difficulty: Easy

  42. : Time: 5 minutes preparation, many hours cooking.

  43. : Precision: no need to measure.
