Jan 2013

1 lb BEP
1/2 lb cubed lean ham
1/2 tbsp bacon fat
1 red onion
1 tsp minced garlic
1 jalapeno pepper
1 red bell pepper
1 cup fresh salsa (since i didn't have any stewed tomatoes)
2 cans chicken broth
1/2 tsp chili powder
1+ tsp cumin
Mrs. Dash
1 tsp Cajun seasoning
water to fill crock

i sauteed the ham, onion, garlic and peppers in the bacon grease until they released fragrance and the onion was just starting to go transparent then threw it all in the crock, set to 4 hours on high. i plan to serve with brown rice and a BIG salad for the greens.

Happy New Year!!
