Introduction

I threw this together for a good, healthy meal that will last a while. Makes approximately 10 serves, but I am not sure the exact serving size. I used a 6 quart crockpot. I like big pieces of stuff in my food, but make the pieces smaller if you like. Since I rinsed all the canned foods except the crushed tomatoes and the paste, the sodium content should be significantly less that calculated. Enjoy!

Ingredients

    1.5lbs Stew beef
    2 tbsp canola oil
    1 can great northern beans, rinsed
    1 can chili beans, rinsed
    1 can kidney beans, rinsed
    1 large onion, chopped
    1 green bell pepper, chopped
    1 small can tomato paste
    28oz crushed tomatoes (I used basil flavored)
    28oz Italian style stewed tomatoes
    1 tbsp garlic powder
    3 tbsp ground cumin
    3 tbsp chili powder
    1 tbsp chopped onion
    1/2 cup flour
    1 bay leaf

Directions

Place the bay leaf in the bottom of the crockpot and turn on low.
Combine dry ingredients and beef into a plastic bag and shake well (if you want to add the spices to the pot instead of cooking with the meat, go ahead).
Brown meat in non-stick pan with 1 tbsp oil. Place meat in crockpot.
Saute onions and peppers in same pan with 1 tbsp oil, then place in crockpot.
Open beans, drain and rinse, then add to crockpot.
Drain both cans of stewed tomatoes then add to crockpot. Empty crushed tomatoes into a bowl with the tomato paste and combine well, then add to crockpot.
Cook on low 6-8 hours, stiring every 30 minutes or so.
Serve on top of rice, egg noodles and top with whatever you like (rice, noddles and toppings not added into nutritional value).
