    That does sound good!
    When you make it in the crock pot do you just throw everything in at once? How long do you let it cook in the crock pot?

    I still crisp cook the carrots and onions in the skillet but then just dump everything in the crockpot and put it on low for 4-6 hours. It's like chili, the more it's cooked the better it is.

    Opps! Forgot to tell everyone to be sure to use LIGHT red kidney beans. Dark red kidney beans are too tough to absorb the spices.
