Bluto's Beans And Veggie Chili
I don't know who bluto is but this looks good! Very easy! from an email i received today!
Steps
Cover and soak beans overnight in cold water- drain.
Put beans in slow cooker.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat , heat oil or a small amount of liquid.
Saute onion and garlic until soft , about 3 to 5 minutes.
Add bell pepper , potatoes , chili powder and the cumin.
Continue cooking , stirring frequently for about three minutes.
Transfer to slow cooker.
Add rice and water or broth.
Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or until chili is thick and rice and beans are tender.
Because the acid in tomatoes supposedly keep uncooked beans from becoming tender , add the tomatoes after the beans are cooked- for the last hour or so of cooking.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Garnish with cheese if desired.
