CROCKPOT WEDNESDAY

I like to make some sort of beans at least once a week. This recipe is from THE CROCKIN' GIRLS SLOW COOKIN' COMPANION. It would be delicious served with hot cornbread, finely chopped red onion, and/or fresh salsa.

GOOD BEANS
2 cups dried red beans (washed, picked over, and soaked in cold water overnight)
1 lb. smoked sausage, thinly sliced (turkey is good), 1 lb. browned beef (I'll use very lean beef or maybe even turkey), or 1 lb. finely chopped, smoked bacon (NOOOO!-too much fat)
1 medium onion, finely chopped
4 c. broth (beef or chicken) I'll use low sodium
1 can diced tomatoes
garlic salt and pepper,to taste(I will use garlic powder)
1 poblano pepper,chopped or 1 small jalepeno pepper, chopped

DIRECTIONS:
Drain and rinse beans. Place beans and all other ingredients in the slow-cooker and cook on LOW for 8-10 hours.
