flat leave it out. -- UDD

Place beans in a dutch oven with water. Bring to a
boil; simmer 2 minutes. Remove from the heat. Cover
and let stand for one hour. Drain and rinse beans.

Return to Dutch oven with broth, garlic and bay
leaves; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer
for 1 1/4 hours. Stir in all remaining ingredients.

Cover and simmer for one hour or until beans and
vegetables are tender and gravy is thick. Remove bay
leaves. Serve over rice.

This meal costs only $.68 per plate.

NOTE: I cannot find when this recipe appeared in T.O.H.
But I cannot make it (in 2004) for 68c/serving. Even if
I leave out the sausage. -- UDD
