Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

Drain. Put in crock pot. Add onions, peppers, tomatoes, oregano and parsley to beans. Cook on low for 5 to 6 hours or until beans are done.
This makes a nice side dish. Can be made more of a main dish by adding the hamburger.

Crock pots/slow cookers all heat differently. There is no standard among manufacturers. Cooking times are suggested guidelines based on our testing. Please adjust cooking times and temps to work with your brand and model of slow cooker.nutrition data

Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.
It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

Apologues for making recipe changes. Made as read and making comments. This is not the old navy brat way of making navy beans but works quite well. Rather than adding hamburger, we add salt pork or hog jowl. Fatter I admit, but with the crockpot it can be skimmed off and adds a lot of flavor. Adding the tomatoes are a plus but the herbs and spices are all that are necessary. Can turn to BBQ by adding BBQ sauce. Why the navy uses it. It can be changed by what is available. Good stuff Maynard.

First time working with dried beans. Turned out perfect. I didn't add the beef. I like the suggestion of adding smoked sausage so I might do that next time to change it up a bit.

I added cooked smoked sausage to this for a really hearty and warming dinner.
