ITALIAN BEEF AND BEAN STEW

Nutritional analysis per serving: 409 calories, 38 g protein, 41 g carbohydrate, 10 g fat, 73 mg cholesterol, 11 g fiber, 795 mg sodium.

1 (12- to 14-ounce) package dried bean soup mix with seasoning packet

2 pounds beef for stew, cut into 1-inch pieces

1 (14- to 14 1/2-ounce) can ready-to-serve beef broth

1 cup water

1/2 cup sun-dried tomato pesto sauce or spread

Salt and pepper, to taste

Yields 6 servings.

Cover beans from bean soup mix with water in large bowl. Cover bowl and soak beans overnight in refrigerator. Reserve seasoning packet.

Drain beans; rinse and pick over to remove any grit or shriveled and broken beans. Place beans, beef, broth, water and contents of seasoning packet in 4 1/2- to 5 1/2-quart slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 5 to 6 hours or on low for 6 to 7 hours, or until beans are tender and beef is fork-tender. (No stirring is necessary during cooking.)

Stir in pesto; mix well. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve topped with additional pesto, if desired.

Note: For best results, do not lift the slow-cooker lid. Every peek allows heat to escape and adds 15 to 20 minutes to cooking time.
