Soak beans overnight, drain, rinse, and put in crock pot with just enough water to cover. Add ingredients and cook on high for 3 hours (DO NOT TAKE COVER OFF DURING THIS COOKING TIME) Turn down to low and cook 5-6 more hours.
CHILI
1¼ lb. chopped steak, (leftovers from Tall Cool ☺ne's grilling)
1 pkg. hot sausage links, removed from casing
1 qt. stewed tomatoes (from last year's garden)
1 can tomato paste
1 onion, chopped
2 tbsp. minced garlic
4 tbsp. chili powder
1-2 tsp. cayenne pepper

2 tbsp. paprika
Cook sausage and drain off grease. Add all other ingredients and let simmer for about 1½-2 hours.
The thing I like about chili is no matter how many times I make it, it always seems to get better. Even when I follow my favorite recipe, I add something or change something and it always gets better. Recipes are like that. They can always be improved upon.
