2 cans black or pinto beans
2 cans stewed tomatoes
1 can whole kernel corn
1 packet hidden valley ranch seasoning
1 packet taco seasoning
1 package morningstar crumbles (or generic soy crumbles)
OR
1lb ground beef, cooked


Throw everything in crockpot (do not drain anything), add 1 can water.
Mix well.

Cook on low for however many hours you want - at least 6 :)

As far as weight watchers, if you use the morning star crumbles, 1.5 cups is 1 point. If you use ground beef, it's 3.

We like to top it with a little bit of sour cream and some shredded cheese. Increases the points value just a bit but it's super good :yes

that sounds so good. I think I will get the ingrediants and make that tomorrow! thanks for the recipie!:)

oh I would so eat that Becca. Thanks for sharing the recipe. I am gonna have to tell my hubby and print this recipe out. I am always looking for some new recipe for variety so we dont keep having the same stuff for dinner. LOL

Sounds yummy!

It really is SUPER good...but beware...you may get kinda, um...gassy :giggle I think it's because you don't drain the beans. :dunno

That sounds great. I'll have to try that this weekend.

I'm making this tomorrow :cp

Becca, we have 2 bags of black beans I want to use up. Your ingredients say 2 cans...do you know how many oz or cups that would be? Like maybe around 32 oz or something? Thanks!

I've had this, it's GOOD - except when all is said and done if you put some crumbled fritos on top - it's even better ;)

(so ya don't miss it!)

(so ya don't miss it!)

I would have missed it :yes :lol

This would be a problem. Dry beans need to be soaked overnight before you can use them :( One can of beans is about 2 cups or so - so if you used 4C of beans it should work just fine. You just can't throw dry beans in the crock pot, because it won't be happenin'. :(

Look on the back of the bag though, there may be a way to expedite the soaking and do it quicker than overnight. You can cook the soup on high for 4 hours if need be, I just like to do it longer and on low because the longer the flavors mingle the better it tastes. It tastes even better as leftovers than it does the first go-round. :)

Thanks! I know he's boiled the beans for awhile as he took them for lunch, so I'll see what I can do :thumbsup

Good stuff. If the beans are soft enough to eat, I don't see why you couldn't use them :dunno

Yeah it has different ways to use them: long soak and cooking, so looks like if I just cook them for an hour, they'll be ok!

Good stuff :yes :thumbsup

I know you'll love the soup :yes It makes alot and like I said, the leftovers are even better.

I think I screwed it up :( For some reason it looks like a ton of stuff but little meat? It smells really good, but there's just not much meat. I did a taste test earlier even though it's not all the way done and it tasted good, but I think I just effed it up a bit :lol

mmm, even if i did put too much of something, it tastes REALLy good!! I put some cheese & sour cream on it :thumbsup

I'm soooo glad you like it :yes There's not supposed to be a lot of meat in it. :) You didn't 'eff' anything up :giggle

:lol Ok good...I couldn't put all of the beans in the crockpot b/c it was almost overflowing. I accidently put an extra can of corn in :lol Oh well, still very good!

Going to try this, this week..... Sounds good, it is cold here!!!

Miss Becca, Rach always raves about this, so I was wondering if you happened to know the calorie content per serving or per cup at all? :hehe TIA!

It is a good recipie. I have made this several times. Add a little fennel seed to help take out the gas.

:bump for the lovely Miss Becca. :mrgreen

I didn't see this Trey!

Actually - I have no idea what the calorie content is :( I'm sorry!

No worries! I just thought maybe it came from another site or something! I am sure I can find it online or worst case scenario, type it all into a calorie counter!

It sounds AWESOME THOUGH! :drool I can't wait to try it!

I'm soooooooo making this sometime this week.. sounds so :yum

Yum, sounds so good! I'm def going to make that in the next week or so. Thanks, Becca!
