- .RH MOD.RECIPES-SOURCE CHUCK-WAGON M "13 Mar 86" 1986
- .RZ "CHUCK-WAGON BEAN POT" "A Hearty Bean Stew"
- I got this recipe from
- .I
- A Primer on Bean Cookery
- by the
- .I
- California Dry Bean Advisory Board
- and other organizations.
- This savory stew, featuring ham and beans,
- borrows its robust seasonings from the chuck wagon cooks
- of the old western cattle ranges.
- The secret is long, slow cooking,
- and your electric slow-cooker is ideal for the job.
- Just follow the directions that come with your particular model.
- If you don't have one,
- slow-cook the mixture on top of the stove in a heavy pot with a lid.
