This beef and bean dish may not look like much, but it is really good. Sweet and savory combined, I rank this with comfort food.
Other great things about this meal: it’s a slow cooker meal and it makes a lot. I almost always freeze about half. Then some night when I do not feel like cooking I can simply defrost, warm and enjoy.
So, if you are looking for lots of protein, this dish has it. If you are looking for a way to eat more legumes, this is a good recipe to start with. If you are looking for easy, this one is for you.
Enjoy!
