Crock Pot Black Bean Chili Con Carne

Submitted by A Messy Cook

"This is really good for tostadas, burritos, taco salad... We bought a slow cooker a few weeks ago and this is one of the first things we tried. Lots of healthy veggies and beans, and a great blend of spices too. It's from "Fix It and Forget It Recipes for Entertaining." You will have plenty of leftovers, so freeze some or just plan on serving lots and lots of people!"
