Ingredients
2 cups cabbage, shredded1 cup onion, shredded4-5 ribs of celery, shredded4-5 large carrots, shredded1 green or red pepper, diced1 can sweet corn2 cans of beans of your choice (kidney, chickpeas, great northern, or bean salad. I use whatever is handy.)1/2 - 3/4 lb lean ground beef, browned and drained of fat (optional, and you will have to add calories etc)1 cup brown rice1 can diced tomatoes1 can tomato sauceSalt & pepperChili powderOreganoBasilParsley
Directions
Put all veggies to be shredded through the processor (to save time).
Add all veggies to your crockpot or a large pot (including peppers and corn).
Add the beans and rice.
(Here would be the time to add the beef, if using).
Cover with tomatoes and tomato sauce and season with salt, pepper, oregano, basil, parsley and chili powder to taste.
Still well to combine all ingredients
Cover and cook on high 3-4 hours or on low 6-8 hours or until veggies and rice are cooked through.

I use it as a filling for tacos sometimes. I'm sure it would also be awesome as a dip with tortillas or nachos as well. Also great on it's own with a piece of cornbread. YUM! :)

    I made this without meat. My family melted cheese on it and ate it with Tostito Scoops. They loved it this way. I opted for the lower cal version of no cheese and chips and it was good that way too. - 1/22/08
