Crock pot recipe :)
1/2 lb. dry pinto or kidney beans
2 - 1 lb. cans of tomatoes
2 lbs. coarsely ground chuck (browned)
2 med. onions, coarsely chopped
1 green pepper, coarsely chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 to 3 Tablespoons of chili powder
1-1/2 T. salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, 1 teaspoon cumin (optional)
Parboil dry beans until soft; drain well. Put all ingredients in crock pot in order listed.
Stir once. Cover and cook on low for 10 to 12 hours. Or high for 5 to 6 hours.
*When using canned beans (2-1 lb cans), make sure to drain and rinse beans, making sure to completely drain off all liquid.
*This was always our favorite recipe to turn to in the Autumn and Winter months.. but alas, I can no longer have this kind of food. Bah.*
