Introduction

This has been one of those recipes that's become a necessity in my life. It's filling, tasty & very versatile. You can modify it to what you happen to have or what you like.

Ingredients

    1-28 oz. can of diced tomatoes
    1-15 oz can of tomato sauce
    1-6 oz can of tomato paste
    1 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 whole
    1/2 a package of fresh mushrooms, sliced
    1 green pepper, chopped
    1/2 of a large onion, chopped
    4 cloves of garlic, minced
    1 cup of salsa
    1 oz of tequila (optional)
    1 tbs ground cumin seed
    1 tbs chilli powder
    1 tsp oregano
    1 tsp pepper
    Salt 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).
