Feed a Crowd on a Shoestring!

Do you ever need to feed a crowd on a shoestring? This meal is easy and delicious, and cheap! I often have to hide beans (unless it's Mexican refried beans) around here, and this certainly works for that, as well!

15 Bean Stew for a Crowd

1 pound 15 bean dry mix
12 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
8 ounces tomato paste
1 small head cabbage
1 large onion
2 large potaotes
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste


1. Bring beans, 1 teaspoon of salt, and water to a rolling boil on high heat. Turn heat down to medium and boil for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
2. Mix tomato paste into a two or three cups of water until smooth. Combine all and boil, covered until potatoes and cabbage soften, about a half hour.

My guys love this with some nice sweet "Yankee Cornbread"!

You could also make it all in a crockpot overnight (low heat setting).
