You can make this recipe in a slowcooker in the morning and let it simmer until you get home from work. What beats a dinner that makes itself? It also freezes well and makes a great lunch. Perfect for potlucks, too!
Serve with guacamole or sour cream, grated cheddar cheese, and tortilla chips or cornbread.
INGREDIENTS
1 -2 onions, chopped
3 ribs of celery, chopped...including leafy part
3 - 4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 reg can black beans
1 reg can chick peas
1 reg can kidney beans
1 large can chopped tomatoes
1 or 2 large cans crushed tomatoes
1 small can tomato paste
1 tsp cumin
chili powder (3 - 4 tablespoons, or to taste - will depend on desired heat)
1 tsp oregano
bay leaf or two
3/4 to 1 cup of PC beer/chipotle BBQ sauce
you can use another good quality, spicy BBQ sauce (but not honey garlic)
You can also add canned, chopped chipotles, but go easy!
Add frozen corn and a chopped red pepper at the end for colour.
DIRECTIONS
Briefly cook celery, onions, garlic and spices in a slowcooker or dutch oven. Add the canned ingredients (remember to rinse the beans first). Add a small amount of the BBQ sauce. Stir together and heat through. Feel free to add another can of beans and more crushed tomatoes if it seems too thick. After it has simmered away on low heat for an hour or two, add the rest of the BBQ sauce. Taste and adjust flavours if required (more BBQ sauce, salt, pepper....crushed chipotles). Before serving, add corn and chopped peppers if using and heat through. Garnish with grated cheddar and sour cream.
