This soup is simple, comforting and inexpensive. I make mine with homemade chili powder made from dried habaneros so mine is pretty spicy - if you are using a milder chili powder you might consider adding additonal cayenne pepper. You can also substitute cajun seasoning for the chili powder. You could also do this on the stovetop - just brown the hamburger add all the rest of the ingredients and simmer until the beans are tender.

1

6

cups beef broth
1

tablespoon chili powder

DIRECTIONS

Brown the hamburger meat, drain the fat and place the meat into a slow cooker.
Add the beans, seasonings and broth. (You can soak the beans before if desired - I never do!).
Cook on low for around 8 hours or until the beans are tender, adding water or additional broth as needed. I usually need to add about 2 cups of water as the beans cook and soak up the liquid.
