I made the Ham and Beans yesterday. The mixture was very thin and I did add exactly what the recipe said. I decided to put in 1 can of diced tomatoes and Hunt’s pasta sauce and it was thicker and delicious. The flavor was delicious but I still wonder what happened with the original recipe. I used the regular 15 Bean Soup Mix.
Can you tell me how you would cook this in a crockpot, please and thank you 😊
