    1/2 cup dry black beans

    1 medium onion
    1 cup mushrooms
    1 can corn, drained (or 1 1/2 cups frozen corn)
    1 - 32 oz can diced tomatoes (I use no salt added))

Directions

Start by rinsing all the beans very well. Add them with plenty of water to a large stock pot or dutch oven. Bring to a boil, let simmer for 1 hour. Drain water, rinse beans and add fresh water. Bring to a boil again and let cook for at least 3 hours. (This can also be done in a large crock pot - set on high for at least 6-8 hours.) When beans are almost done, chop all veggies into bite sized pieces. Spray large saute pan with cooking spray, add onion, peppers, squash, mushroom and corn . Cook until veggies are soft. Add diced tomatoes (juices and all) to beans. Add diced green chili (juices and all) to beans. Stir well. Add in veggies a little at a time combining well. Add seasonings, let simmer for appx. 20-30 minutes. Serve! Easily feeds 12. Goes great with corn bread. Can be topped with Sour Cream and/or cheese!
