Fried cabbage with smoked sausage (I slice and brown the link first, then add sliced cabbage, onions and carrots are optional, season to taste)
Chicken and black beans (boneless chicken, rinsed black beans, corn (drained canned, fresh or frozen), salsa or Rotel; cook in Crock Pot, oven or stove top, pull chicken apart with two forks, serve over brown rice or in tortillas, toppings optional)
Cowboy Stew (brown ground beef or turkey, drain, add 1-2 large can pork'n beans, a bit of sweetener (I like a healthy pinch of brown sugar), seasonings (I like garlic, black pepper and chili powder), simmer, serve with a crusty bread or biscuits)
