INGREDIENTS

1 lb Bean, any variety dry
1 Ham hock or shank
1 Onion, chopped
6 c Water
1 t Salt
7 oz Green chili salsa
up to 10 oz or use
tomato sauce canned
or stewed tomatoes

INSTRUCTIONS

Rinse the beans and remove any foreign matter.  Mix all ingredients  in
the cooking vessel.  IF USING A SLOW-COOKER:  Cover, set temperature at
low, and forget  for at least 10 hours.  If you have only half a day,
cook the mixture  5 or more hours on high.  IF USING A STOVE:  Heat all
ingredients to boiling with pot  uncovered. Turn down heat, cover, and
simmer gently, adding enough  boiling water to keep beans well covered.
Most bean varieties will be  done in 2 to 3 hours.  When beans are
done, take out ham bone, cut off the meat and put it  back into the
pot. Serve hot with corn bread or muffins. Green chili  salsa is a
Mexican sauce made from green chili peppers, onions,  vinegar and other
ingredients.  NOTES    A Hearty Bean Stew -- I got this recipe from "A
Primer on Bean  Cookery" by the 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.  :
