I decided to post another recipe today; maybe more. I'd like to get enough on here to make up for all the day's since January 1st that I missed. As of now I think that will be 18. If I post 6 extra a day it will take me 3 day's to catch up. If I post 3 extra a day it will take 6 day's to catch up, etc. I'm not sure how I will catch up yet, but I intend to try. Here is my 2nd recipe for today, though. #4:

                                                   Bean and Bacon Soup with Tomatoes

1/2 pound Pinto Beans; soaked overnight.

8 slices of medium thick-cut Bacon; cut in small pieces.

1/2 Onion; chopped.

1 clove Garlic; chopped.

1 can Diced Tomatoes.

2 Boxes or 3-4 cans Low-Sodium Chicken Broth.

Water to make soup the right consistency.

1/2 teaspoon Seasoned Salt or Seasoned Salt Substitute.

Pepper to taste.

Brown the Bacon in a cast iron skillet.

Add the Onion and Garlic.

Brown it lightly.

Drain and set aside.

Drain and rinse the Beans.

Put the Beans in the Crock-Pot.

Add all the rest of the ingredients to the Crock-Pot.

Cover and cook on Low for 5-6 hours or on Low for 10-12 hours.
