Recipe out of newspaper. I tend to add more cilantro, chili pepper and salsa for a spicier dish. The longer you cook it, the better the flavors meld. It was originally a vegetarian recipe that I added hamburger to so could easily be converted back! It's my dad's single favorite meal with some nice crusty bread or tortillas.
Ingredients:
2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, undrained
1/2 cup salsa
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 (8 ounce) can chicken broth (a)
5 tablespoons green onions
2 1/2 tablespoons cilantro
1/2-1 lb ground beef (optional)
1/2 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
sour cream
Directions:
1. If using beef, brown and drain fat.
2. Add beans, onions, chili powder, salsa, broth and cilantro to crockpot or soup pot.
3. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and stir while mashing some beans.
4. For soup pot: simmer over medium low heat 30 minutes to an hour.
5. For crockpot: cook on low for 2-3 hours.
6. Top with cheese and sour cream when serving.
