TRACEY'S BEAN CROCK POT STEW RECIPE

Steps:

• Brown the hamburger in a skillet, drain it, and rinse it with water (i use paper towels over a noodle strainer).
• Chop with the onion into the size you like.
• Brown the bacon until crispy with the onion.
• Drain bacon/onion mixture or pat with paper towels.
• Combine the hamburger and bacon mixture into a large crock pot.
• Add your beans (bean liquid optional depending on how liquidy you like your stews).
• There is no exact science for the last few ingredients. Each condiment can ruin the beans if overused. So, grab a spoon and start tasting but the amounts listed work just fine if you don't like to brave cold bean stuff.
• Stirring occasionally with the crock pot on a medium setting, let the bean mixture simmer in the crock pot for an hour or so until heated throughly. If you find it getting too thick, add some water.
• I like to serve it over hot brown rice which stretches the amount of serving but it can be eaten as just a soup/stew with crackers.
