Revised to add soup bases and red pepper flakes
02/11/96 A revised recipe for my crockpot beans and
ham. I used home grown horticulture beans, added beef
and chicken soup base, and red pepper flakes to spice
them up a bit. Got such raves from the family I
decided I better revise the recipe while I still
remembered what changes I made to it. Also decided to
try soaking the beans overnight in baking soda water
in an attempt to avoid the usual gassiness. Seems to
have worked quite well, the beans were quite tender
without being mushy.
