I was losing sleep over NOT being able to find the recipe for you since you are a vegan and all my searching paid off...so voila....
REALLY EASY MIXED BEAN CHILI
Serves 6 (easily doubled to serve more)
1 15 ounce can pinto beans - rinsed and drained
1 15 ounce black beans - rinsed and drained
1 package taco seasoning mix (mild or hot depending on your heat index preference)
1 8 ounce jar of salsa - your favorite
1 10 ounce package of frozen corn
1 sweet potatoe - peeled and cubed (this makes the recipe special)
Dump it all into a crockpot.
Set on low and cook for 6 to 8 hours.
Mix well before serving. How hard is that???
Per Serving: 283 Calories; 1g Fat(3.4% calories from fat); 15g Protein; 55g Carbohydrates; 15g Dietary Fiber; 0mg Cholesterol; 584mg Sodium.
Exchanges: 3 Grain (Starch); 1/2 Lean Meat; 1/2 Vegetable; 0 Other Carbohydrates.
Serving Suggestions: Serve with your favorite cornbread(make or buy) and a great big salad. Enjoy!!!
*** Note for you meat eaters...If you relish this recipe, but want meat in it. Just brown up about a pound of ground beef or turkey that has been seasoned and then drained of all the fat, then add to the finished crockpot recipe up above to have a chili with meat in it.

Posted: 5/30/2008 8:20:45 AM | Here's a dish I made last night.
2 cups of beef stock
1 cup of water
1 can mushroom soup
1 package dry onion soup
I took an eye of round rump roast, seasoned with salt, pepper and montreal steak, and then seared two sides of it over high heat in a frying pan. Then, put it into the mixture above and cooked on low for about 6 1/2 hours. The flavor of the meat was really good, and the sauce becomes a tasty gravy. It makes a little bit too much gravy, but you can never have too much of a good thing. I suggest using reduced sodium beef broth and then season the gravy to taste. | |

Posted: 6/19/2008 8:51:53 PM | | I can't think that chicken in a crock pot would be all that good? Unless you don't care to have the crispy skin on the outside of it? I know it has been done before just that I have never wanted to try it! Maybe someone has done it that can advise? | |

Posted: 6/19/2008 10:02:32 PM | Oh chicken in a crockpot is very, very good for a great many dishes. If you want the crispy skin you can always stick it in a hot oven to crisp up.
Uncle?? It would take an awfully big crockpot to fit a whole turkey, wouldn't it? I' m sure it would be good, because I always do one a year in a big stockpot for a bunch of dishes I like throughout the year (I freeze the turkey and broth for later use) but holy cow--where would you find one that big?? I KNOW!!! It's called a NESCO Roaster with all the steam vents plugged up!! LOL

Would you cut it up ? Guess so. | |

Use a can of low-sodium chicken broth in the crock pot as well, and you can also add seasonings such as some chopped onion, a bit of dried sage, etc.
Wonderful and Thanksgiving just about any time of the year. I save back a little of the broth and use it in homemade dressing, and make gravy with the rest of the broth. Incredibly easy with the crock pot!
I just bought one with an automatic timer; I work and am gone pretty much all day, so I can either put the food on low in the morning or put something on over the noon hour and cook on high. When the timer is done, it switches to a keep warm setting -- won't cook the food any longer, but keeps everything at a safe temperature. | |
