Ingredients:
1 C dry, uncooked lentils
1/3 C dry, uncooked kidney
2/3 C dry, uncooked navy beans
1.5 C thick cut, diced ham
3 C Beef Stock
1 C water
1 tbsp garlic powder
1.5 tsp dried, minced onions
1 tsp parsley
Salt and Pepper to taste (1 tsp of each)

*I used this mix of beans because I had them stored away from a previous dinner; you can use any type of dry bean with the above recipe.

**In a large bowl, soak beans in 5 cups of water overnight.*

After beans have soaked overnight, pour them into a strainer, rinse beans and drain the water. In a large crock pot, pour rinsed beans, diced, thick-cut ham, beef stock, water, garlic powder, dried, minced onions, parsley, and salt & pepper to taste. Stir all ingredients together, set temperature to low, cover and let cook for 8-10 hours.
