You can use any kind of dry smoked sausage for this. To make this in a crock pot, brown the first 6 ingredients in a skillet, place in the crock pot then add all remaining ingredients, cook covered on LOW setting for about 8 to 10 hours, stir in the cheese just before serving. This makes a lot, but it tastes even better served the next day! For this recipe the longer you cook it the better it will be so make this dish when you have a bit of time. Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef |
1 large onion, chopped |
2 tablespoons fresh minced garlic (or to taste) |
1 large green bell pepper, chopped |
1 -2 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped |
1 -4 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes (optional or to taste) |
1 lb kielbasa, thinly sliced |
2 (10 ounce) cans tomato soup |
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes (undrained) |
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained |
4 (16 ounce) cans pinto beans (undrained) |
4 (15 ounce) cans pork and beans, undrained |
salt and pepper |
tabasco sauce (optional) |
2 cups grated cheddar cheese |
Directions:
1. In a large pot brown the ground beef with onion, garlic, bell pepper, jalapeno pepper and dried chili flakes (if using) until the meat is browned and cooked; drain fat.
2. Add in the kielbasa sausage slices and cook for about 2 minutes.
3. Add in the all remaining ingredients.
4. Simmer covered over medium-low heat for about 1 hour stirring occasionally.
5. Uncover and simmer for another 30-35 minutes (the longer time you cook it the better it will be, you can cook it for 2 hours if desired!).
6. Season with salt, pepper and Tabasco (if using).
7. Stir in the cheese before serving.
