This soup is a fix-it-and-forget-it type meal, great for a busy weeknight.
Ingredients
- 1 pound dried pinto beans
- 1 pound lean ground beef, browned and drained well
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 -- (10-ounce) cans Rotel tomatoes
- 1 -- (16-ounce) whole tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
Instructions
- Rinse beans. Cover with water and soak overnight. Early in the morning put beans in a Crock Pot. Add remaining ingredients. Add water, if necessary, so mixture is covered by liquid.
