I sent this recipe to madmax and she raved about the flavors so much, made it for us yesterday and she's right. The flavors are really good and what an economical dinner. I served it over rice.
Slow Cooker Beef and Beans
1 large onion -- coarsely chopped
1 boneless chuck roast -- about 4 to 5 pounds
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons Creole or Cajun seasoning blend (if salt-free -- add 1/2 teaspoon salt)
1 dash black pepper
1 dash garlic powder
1/2 cup beef broth
1 large green or red bell pepper -- diced
2 cans baked beans -- (22 to 28 ounces each) your favorite
Sprinkle chopped onions over the bottom of the cooker; place roast on onions. Combine the brown sugar, seasoning blend, pepper, and garlic powder; rub over the roast. Pour the beef broth into the bottom of the crockpot. Cover and cook on LOW for 7 to 9 hours or on HIGH for 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 hours. Carefully drain off liquids and discard. Add the chopped bell pepper and beans to the pot roast; cover and cook on HIGH for 1 hour longer.
Description:
