                        olive oil
   1      large         yellow onions -- diced (1 to 2)
   2      cloves        garlic -- minced
   1                    red pepper -- diced fairly large
   1                    green pepper -- diced fairly large
   2      cans          crushed tomatoes -- (28-ounce)
   1      tablespoon    cumin
   1      teaspoon      cayenne (or to your taste)
   1      pkg           frozen corn
   2      cans          black beans (or any other kind
                        beans you like -
                        chickpeas work well -- too)
   1 1/2  cups          picante sauce (Shotgun Willie's
                        green sauce -very hot- works well)
                        salt to taste
                        grated cheddar -- if desired
                        cashew nuts -- if desired

Preparation:

Saute onions in the olive oil. (I used cooking wine instead to cut out the fat). Add garlic a bit later. After onion and garlic are have turned golden brown, add cumin, cayenne, and whatever other spices you might like. Fry for a couple of minutes. Next, add the peppers, saute them for a few minutes. Put the crushed tomatoes, corn, beans and picante sauce into the crock pot, and add the onion mixture. Cook on low about 10 hours. Serve with grated cheddar and cashew nuts, if desired. Note: ----- I didn't have room in my crockpot for 2 cans of crushed tomatoes, and I had to cut back a little on the corn too, so you will have to vary the sizes above depending on the size of your crockpo
