I think it is called Creamy Spaghetti--it looked delicious! Thank you for posting Chel's recipe, also! I will have to try that one next week. She mentioned a black bean soup crockpot recipe--could she maybe e-mail that one to me...or, maybe you should host "Lizzie's Lunch Counter-Easy & Economical Bean Recipes Edition" ;). Thanks, again. I hope I am not driving you crazy! Lizzie, I am trying your recipe tomorrow and then plan to use the leftovers on Sat. to try a Rachael Ray recipe I got from http://www.foodnetworktv.com.

A great way to make your beans even richer (esp. in the winter) is to save the bones w/ scraps from your pork chops or roast before you cook them. Say you want just the meat from the pork for a recipe - bone it while it's raw and stick the bones in the freezer. When you boil the beans, in the crock pot or on the stove, add the bones and you'd be surprised how much meat falls off! Also when you're down to the bone of a ham - boil the living daylights out of that sucker and you'll get a lot of ham to fall off. (Just boil the ham bone separately from the beans -- the salt in it will prevent the beans from softening if you boil them together.) You can do cool things with lentils too, like adding curry and tomatoes after they're boiled. "Taste of Home" has good recipes and is online. Okay, now you’re making me hungry!!
