Place all ingredients together into a slow cooker or CrockPot. Turn on high and let it cook for 3-4 hours. Turn it down to low and let it cook the remaining hours (total of 12-18) until it's done to your taste. Taste and add seasonings as needed for your own flavor and style. Pretty simple! Just dump it all in and stir and cook!

Enjoy! Happy (nearly fat free) Eating!

Variations: put in corn in addition to or in place of something, use diced tomatoes with green chiles, experiment with other spices, stir in some salsa (as hot as you like) in place of the diced tomatoes, crumble baked tortillas over your bowl, shred low-fat cheddar over top or put a dollop of fat free sour cream on top! I think at some point in time I'll just have to try all of those lovely ideas! :-)
