broke out the slow cooker

My slow cooker could not stay in isolation all summer.  I was itching to break it out.  So I did -- yesterday to be exact.  And I made cowboy beans!

Cowboy Beans
2 cans pinto beans (2 c dry)
2 cans dark red kidney beans (2 c dry)
1 lb ground turkey or beef
1 onion
1 bell/ancient/cubano pepper
2 cans Rotel tomatoes & chiles (3 c fresh tomatoes & 1 c chiles)
1 can diced tomatoes (2 c fresh)
Adobo spice
Paprika (I used hot Hungarian -- you can also use chili powder)
Shredded cheese, sour cream, tortilla chips to serve

1. brown meat
2. throw all ingredients in slow cooker
3. turn slow cooker on low
4. and wait.

Oh my god they are so good.  They give me an excuse to eat something chilli-like when it is nine billion degrees outside.
