Chili recipies, people. Tell me how to put my crockpot to excellent use (rather than sort of bland use).

Also, pork chop recipies, no dairy, with less than 10,000 ingredients. If it works with a crock pot, even better!

The good sense to study more when there aren't tests bearing down on me.

Finally, the calm and perseverence necessary to hand-pollinate Arabidopsis. And do more studying.

It's not chili, but it's my favorite crockpot recipe.

Barbecued Beans

2 lg cans Pork & Beans
2 cans Kidney Beans, drained
2 cans other beans, drained (I normally use 1 can garbanzos and 1 'whatever' - it works nicely with Great Northern or Black Beans)
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 lb ground beef
1/2 lb bacon
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tsp vinegar
1/2 cup ketchup
1 tsp mustard
salt & pepper to taste

Brown the beef, onion and bacon. Mix everything together in the crockpot, cook on low for 8+ hours. Leftovers warm wonderfully.

This is good for a 5 quart crockpot - if you've got a 3 quart, use ordinary size cans for the Pork & Beans, and drop one of the cans of 'other' beans.

Now I know what to make if I'm asked to a potluck. Cool!
