When I saw this recipe in this month's issue of Everyday Food (one of my FAVORITE magazines EVER), I had to try it. It looked super simple, very yummy and in the bargain meal section! Its fantastic. You must give this a try.
Slow Cooker Beef and Black-Bean Chili
1 pound beef chuck, cut into 3/4-inch chunks
1 can (15 ounces) tomato puree
1 cup dried black beans, rinsed
1 medium red onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced (I added more. Since you can never have too much garlic.)
3 tablespoons chili powder
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1/4 cup sour cream, for serving (or cheese or whatever you like)
In a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker, combine beef, tomato puree, beans, onion (reserve 1 tablespoon for garnish), garlic, chili powder, 2 cups water, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cover, and cook on high, 6 hours (or on low, 8 hours). Serve chili topped with sour cream and reserved onion. (I found it took a bit longer to cook than that - mine cooked on low for 9 hours.)
I don't have a picture, because we gobbled it all up. Next time I make it, I'll add one!!
