This is the recipe I grew up on every winter. I got the recipe from my mom, and make it several times each winter. My husband loves it over white rice. :) Ingredients:

1 teaspoon oregano |
1 onion, chopped |
2 garlic cloves |
1 tablespoon chili powder |
1 1/2 lbs ground beef or 1 1/2 lbs ground turkey |
1 onion, chopped |
2 teaspoons garlic powder |
2 tablespoons flour |
3 tablespoons chili powder |
1 teaspoon basil |
1 teaspoon oregano |
1 teaspoon ground cumin |
1 (2 ounce) can tomato paste |
3 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce |
Directions:
1. Cook beans, oregano, onion, garlic and 1 Tbs. chili powder in six cups water for 2 hours. Salt to taste after 1 hour.
2. Toward end of bean cooking time, brown meat, garlic powder and onion. Drain. Return to pan. Sprinkle with flour. (If flour sticks to pan, use a little water from beans to scrape sides.) Brown till combined.
3. Set aside.
4. Add tomato paste, sauce, chili powder, basil, oregano and cumin to crock pot and stir till blended.
5. Add meat/flour mixture to crock pot.
6. Add beans to crock pot. (Reserve water.).
