Good Crock Pot Recipe

Here is a recipe I tried the other day. It was yummy and pretty healthy.

P.S.- I only put in half of the chili powder. We don't like too much spice.

Southwestern Bean Soup

Ingredients
• 3 cups water
• 1 15-ounce can red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 15-ounce can black beans, pinto beans, or Great Northern beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 141/2-ounce can Mexican-style stewed tomatoes
• 1 10-ounce package frozen whole kernel corn
• 1 cup sliced carrot
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 1 4-ounce can diced green chili peppers
• 2 tablespoons instant beef or chicken bouillon granules
• 1 to 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup yellow cornmeal
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• Dash pepper
• 1 beaten egg white
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 tablespoon cooking oil

Directions
In a 31/2- or 4-quart crockery cooker combine water, beans, undrained tomatoes, corn, carrot, onion, undrained chili peppers, bouillon granules, chili powder, and garlic.
Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 10 to 12 hours or on high-heat setting for 5 to 6 hours.
For dumplings, in a medium mixing bowl stir together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and pepper. In a small mixing bowl combine egg white, milk, and oil. Add to flour mixture; stir with a fork just until combined.
Drop dumpling mixture into 6 mounds on top of the bubbling soup. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 30 minutes more or on high-heat setting for 20 minutes more or until a wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. (Do not lift lid while dumplings are cooking.) Ladle into bowls and top with a dumpling.

Re: Good Crock Pot Recipe

We have had a Crock Pot for about a year and have not even taken it out of the box. I am going to now to try this!

Thanks!
