2day's recipe: CrockPot Beef And Black Bean Stew

Back from vacation and ready to join the real world again, even though there is snow on the ground and its making it difficult to go past our deck, much less back into the real world again.  I think with all the snow and cold weather a beef stew would hit the spot and warm the toes.  Here is a different beef stew that you may like.  I would serve it with some cheddar and jalapeno cornbread!  Don't forget to add cream corn in the cornbread!  To finish the whole meal drink a nice Mexican beer with your stew.  Enjoy :-)
