Directions
In your slow cooker, place onions, garlic, bell pepper, 1 tbsp of black pepper, 1 tbsp of italian seasoning.
Put in the picked, washed and drained beans.
Add sufficient water for them to cook and not scorch.
Turn Slow Cooker on and allow the beans to cook for about 5 hours, maybe a little more depending on your cooker and the desired tenderness.
Brown ground beef in a skillet, seasoning it with the remaining spices, make sure that all the pink is gone, but do not cook completely.
Add browned ground beef, tomato sauce, and tomato paste.
Stir well.
Continue to cook on high for another hour or so. Giving the flavors a chance to marry, the beans to get good and tender and the meat to finish cooking.
