Ingredients
1-28 oz. can of diced tomatoes1-15 oz can of tomato sauce1-6 oz can of tomato paste1 can each of garbanzo, pinto, & red kidney beans (or your choice, I've added up to 5 types of beans!)1 can of black olives, sliced or whole1/2 a package of fresh mushrooms, sliced1 green pepper, chopped1/2 of a large onion, chopped4 cloves of garlic, minced1 cup of salsa1 oz of tequila (optional)1 tbs ground cumin seed1 tbs chilli powder1 tsp oregano1 tsp pepperSalt to taste
Directions
I like to use my crockpot for this since it gains flavor the longer it's simmered. Also great if you're using dry beans instead of canned.

Toss all of the canned ingredients into your crockpot & mix it. Toss in all of the spices & the salsa. Let the sauce simmer while you chop the fresh veggies.

Add the onion & garlic first, mix. Simmer for a few minutes to let the flavors marry a bit, then add the rest.

Cover & let simmer until dinner time. I like it to cook at LEAST 3 hours.

Yes, this recipe is that easy. Honestly, this is the first time I've written it down; been in my head until now! =D

    This recipe I definitely will try. Love the mixture of beans. Will also add a can of green chillis (adds great flavor to everything).
